Teeth grinding

Overview: Teeth grinding, also known as Bruxism, is a very common issue.

Individuals who habitually grind their teeth, which then can result in serious damage to teeth, or other oral health problems. The grinding contact between the teeth can either be noisy and rough, or quiet and gritting. The most common time for this condition to occur is during sleep, although, it can also happen while one is awake.

Continuous teeth grinding can have detrimental effects on an individual’s dental health. Losing teeth, loosening teeth or tooth breakage can occur as a result of bruxism. This behavior, if repeated, can cause the teeth to be whittled down to nothing. If this occurs, multiple issues such as root canals, crowns or implants could occur. Hearing loss, changes in facial appearance, significant pain, and headaches can result from damage to the jaw related to bruxism.

Patient Info: The team at Smile at Telfair will effectively explain the methods to treat and prevent the effect of teeth grinding. Some methods are to use night guards, exercise, and find ways to reduce stress. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Hussain.

Dr. Hussain is one of the best dentists I've ever had. She's extremely positive and friendly, and explains any issues and causes before and after a service. It's easy asking her questions and voicing concerns. She has a wonderful staff and admin is very good about appointment reminders and confirmations. It's actually quite a pleasant experience visiting Smiles at Telfair—they beat all the dentist office scares and stereotypes :)

Dr. Hussain and her team at Smile at Telfair were awesome. Went in with some tooth pain and walked out feeling good. Definitely will be returning to finish the remainder of my dental work. Thank you Smiles at Telfair.

Right from the beginning when I walked through the door, every fear that I ever thought I would have coming back to the dentist was dissipated by Dr. Insiya and her staff. They took wonderful care of all my fears. They explained every little thing that I would be going through. Clean office and great staff!

This team is a good group of people/ professionals. The staff is always very informative and we always end up having a good laugh. This is the type of relationship I expect from a neighborhood Dentist. I had brought my Mother who doesn't speak English. The Doctor was fluent in my Mother's language and it brought such comfort to her. And it was very comforting to me as well. Thank You Smiles at Telfair.

I had a very pleasing experience at this Dental office. Staff and Doctor are very friendly and really take the time explain things. The overall care was comprehensive and through. I am definitely coming back.
