Bergen County Residents Now Have A Solution For Teeth Grinding

Dentists will sometimes recommend a dental night guard to help prevent teeth grinding (bruxism). It is shown that dental night guards help protect the teeth from wearing down caused by grinding. Grinding of the teeth can also cause discomfort in the jaw. For nearly 20 years, Dr. Sherzoy is known to be a talented dentist who has helped patients cure their problem with bruxism to prevent any problems in the near future.

Teeth grinding and clenching, more commonly referred to as `bruxism` is an involuntary action, usually occurring at night and the sufferer doesn’t even know that it is happening. There are many possible causes, the main sign seems to be stress. The consequences for the chronic bruxer can be severe. When they wake up they may have several symptoms, including a throbbing headache and neck, shoulder and jaw pain. In extreme cases, they may also find that their fillings have become loose or fallen out altogether and teeth are fractured and worn down.

Dr. Sherzoy says, “During regular visits to our office, the teeth are examined for evidence of bruxism - often indicated by the tips of the teeth appearing flat. If symptoms are present, the condition will be observed for changes over the next several visits before a treatment program is established.”

Bruxism mouth guards are very efficient and effective in preventing additional teeth damage or tooth loss. The bruxism mouth guards protect the crown, enamel, implants and bridges of teeth. They help in keeping the teeth apart to avoid grinding, clenching and gnashing. Custom-fit night mouth guards are available only from the dentist’s office. Dr. Sherzoy will measure the size and check the contours of the patients’ mouth. Then he would mold a night mouth guard that would especially fit their teeth, gums, and the space between their dentures. These items cost a little higher than the ones bought at pharmacies. But they are certainly the better choices.
