Teeth Grinding Management

Custom night guards and bite therapy to protect your teeth from bruxism (grinding and clenching).

Teeth Grinding Management at Ocean Smile Dental Clinic in Mombasa

Overview

Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) can wear down enamel, crack teeth, strain the jaw joint and cause headaches. We assess the cause, protect your teeth with a custom-fitted night guard, and address the muscles and bite that drive the habit.
