Bruxism Treatment Melbourne

Do you ever wake up with a sore jaw or pressure on your teeth?

Many people are actually unaware that they have a habit of grinding or clenching their teeth while asleep. This problem often goes unnoticed because most sufferers do not grind their teeth every night and when they do, it usually lasts for only a few minutes each time.

Grinding and gnashing teeth can seriously damage your smile

Despite this brief grinding episode, teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can cause substantial damage to your dental health in the long run.

Apart from jaw discomfort, teeth grinding can eventually wear your teeth down, giving you shorter teeth and an older looking face. You may also notice that you have chips or cracks on your teeth or fillings. Other symptoms are sensitivity to temperature or pressure. It is also common to experience facial, shoulder, neck or ear pain.

Whatever the damage is if you grind your teeth at night, we highly recommend that you visit your dentist for a proper assessment of your condition. Most tooth damage related to grinding is preventable if detected early.

Bruxism Treatment Melbourne

A custom-made night guard from The Point Dental can help to protect your teeth from damage. It should be remembered that minor damages such as small chips could easily be fixed. However, if left untreated, it can lead to extensive damage that may require more complex and costly treatment.

For more information regarding grinding whether during sleep or just in general, book a consultation with one of our Melbourne dentists today.

Have been going to this dentist since 2017 and I've had multiple visits most of the years since and I'm always amazed at how good they are ... Currently Olga is doing my dental work and she is caring and professional. Cannot be faulted. I have no hesitation in recommending this clinic. The best dentist I've ever been to.

I was so scared about going to the dentist and ashamed of the state of my teeth, I needed and chose to have All On 4 done. Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental, were very professional at all times, they made the experience a comfortable one with all of their support every step of the way. I even cried with joy after it was all done. I can now smile again without embarrassment. I already have and will again, highly recommend Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental.

I've been visiting this clinic for 2 years. Dr Michael Seng is a friendly and caring dentist. I have recommend my friends and they are very happy with Dr Seng too. I have moved my children to see Dr Evelyn Teo in this clinic as Dr Seng is not accepting new patients. Dr Evelyn Teo has a sense of humour and she makes us feel comfortable. Both dentists, Dr Seng and Dr Teo, will give constructive feedback to improve our oral hygiene and explain everything in detail. If I could, I really want to give 10 stars for both of them.

I highly recommend The Point Dental for anyone, but especially for people who have any stress or anxiety associated with the dentist. The front office team have been amazing, they are warm and friendly. I'd like to point out Natalie who has helped me from my first enquiry and has made be feel very welcome and comfortable. Dr Olga Kaini has been looking after me, she is friendly, highly professional, and has been very patient with me about my dental anxiety. She has done her best to make me feel comfortable and at-easy while in the chair and can't thank her enough. I have full confidence and trust that the team at The Point Dental have my best interest at heart. If you are looking for a dentist embodies professionalism, compassion and skill, then look no further. And if you think your dental anxiety gets too much, ask for the green whistle!
