Tooth grinding

If you grind your teeth, don't wait! Call Existing Patients: now.

If you grind or clench your teeth together, it can cause tooth pain. The source of the pain may be the tightness and soreness of your jaw muscles caused by the constant exertion of grinding. Grinding may also wear your teeth down, and even crack or chip them.

These cracks and chips could expose your tooth pulp, which causes sensitivity and can lead to infections if left untreated.

So if you grind your teeth, call us now for emergency dental service before severe damage is done.
