Teeth Grinding | Sunshine Coast

Grinding or clenching of your teeth (bruxism) can lead to wear and may even cause permanent damage to your teeth.

This often occurs at night when you have no conscious control over the grinding. Treatment by your dentist at any of our Sunshine Coast Practices is aimed at either removing the cause of the grinding or minimising the damage caused by grinding. Your dentist may suggest constructing a customised bite splint to protect the teeth. This service is available at any of our Sunshine Coast Locations.

In extreme situations, the damage caused to your teeth by grinding is so great that it may necessitate rebuilding the teeth that have been ground away. See Smile Gallery – Cosmetic Dentistry for cases that have needed to have teeth rebuilt because of grinding.
