How do you protect your smile while you are asleep? You might be grinding and clenching your teeth at night without being aware of the harm this behavior causes. If not addressed, damage to your enamel from unconscious wear and tear can lead to serious complications with your oral health. This condition, known as bruxism, can make you more susceptible to bacterial infection as worn enamel exposes the delicate inside portion of your tooth. Your bite can become misaligned and cause problems chewing your food comfortably. If you suspect you have symptoms of this disorder, speak with your Cerritos, CA dentist right away. We offer a treatment to protect your teeth from the damage of nightly grinding and preserve the overall health of your smile.
