What’s that pain you’ve been having in your jaw, your ear, your face, your head? It very likely might be Bruxism, grinding your teeth often in your sleep when you are not aware of it. We can address this problem and resolve the discomfort and pain it causes you.
We are trained in treating bruxism.
What is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the act of consciously or unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth either during the day or while you sleep. Bruxism is considered both a medical and a dental problem. This is because it affects both the teeth and all of the structure near it, including the head.
Effects of Bruxism
People grind their teeth for a variety of reasons. Doctors believe that it is because of stress. Dentists say that it happens because one’s teeth are not properly aligned with each other. Whatever the cause treatment should not be delayed.
Teeth grinding may not seem to be a major health issue but can lead to problems such as broken, chipped or worn teeth; broken dentures; headaches and migraines; ear ringing; sore jaw joints (TMJ); dizziness; and sore head, neck and shoulder muscles.
Indications of Bruxism
Intense clenching of teeth, sometimes forceful enough to wake you up
Flattened, worn down, and chipped teeth
Worn tooth enamel
Sensitive teeth (jolts of pain from cold or hot foods and beverages or bristles of a toothbrush)
Pain and tightness in the jaws and surrounding muscles
Ear aches and/or ear ringing
Headaches and/or migraines
Sore Jaw Joints
Muscle pain in face, neck or shoulders
Treatment for Bruxism
You will be fitted by our dentist with custom Mouth Guards to prevent you from grinding and clenching your teeth. Night mouth guards are bite pads that are worn at night as you sleep. These guards are made of high-grade plastic and should fit the teeth or mouth perfectly. This device keeps the upper teeth from grinding with the lower teeth, offering an instant solution to teeth clenching problems.
Call us today to schedule an appointment if you are experiencing problems with teeth grinding.

Dr. Barb is by far one of the best dentist I’ve ever come across. I literally drive an hour to see her and won’t let anyone else work on me or my family. She really listens to your concerns and does amazing cosmetic dental work!! If I could could 10 stars I would!

After my dentist suddenly left the office, I was scheduled to see Dr. Barbara Wetmore and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Even with the stressful nature of my appointment I didn't feel anxious like I usually do at the dentist and felt like she really cared about what was best for me. I highly recommend this dentist to anyone in the area looking for someone friendly and competent.

This has been my dental office for 2 years now. I woke up yesterday morning with a horrible toothache, and called the office. To my surprise, the doctor was there and told me to come to the office right away. Who has a dentist that they can see on the weekend? i had to get my tooth extracted (no fun) but it was pain free and needless to say, I have no more tooth ache!

Dr. Barbara Wetmore and staff, As a new patient to your dental office, I would like to thank you for a very pleasant and professional experience. Lynn Ann performed an excellent cleaning, taking care not to damage my 3 repaired chipped teeth. Dr. Barbara gave me a thorough oral examination and provided me with an effective teeth whitening product. The office atmosphere is friendly and tropical with nice overhead TV's and a massage chair, which engage the patient away from the dental work being done. The office staff filed with my insurance company seamlessly. It was well worth the drive from Merritt island to Rockledge, FL to receive such good care. I look forward to my next visit to your office.
