Teeth Grinding and Night Guards in Coimbatore

Grinding wears enamel down quietly, and most people only find out when a tooth chips or turns sensitive. At our Vadavalli clinic we measure the wear, check the jaw joint and make a night guard to your own teeth, so the damage stops where it is.

When should you get your grinding checked?

  • You wake with a sore jaw, a dull headache or aching temples.
  • Someone has heard you grinding your teeth at night.
  • Your front teeth look flat, chipped or shorter than they were.
  • Cold water sets your teeth off, and a sensitive tooth keeps coming back.
  • A filling or crown keeps breaking or coming loose.
  • Your jaw clicks, catches or is painful to open wide.

How does getting a night guard work?

  1. 1

    Assess and scan.

    We look at how far the wear has gone, check the jaw joint and take a scan or impression of both jaws.

  2. 2

    Fit your guard.

    The guard is made to your teeth, then fitted and adjusted so your bite feels even when you close on it.

  3. 3

    Review and maintain.

    We check the guard and the wear at your next visit, and replace it when it has done its work.

What should you know before booking a night guard?

  • A night guard protects the teeth from grinding. It does not stop the grinding itself.
  • Grinding often tracks with stress and poor sleep, so we talk about both, not only the guard.
  • A shop-bought boil-and-bite guard rarely fits well, and a loose guard can make clenching worse.
  • If you snore heavily or stop breathing in your sleep, we will suggest a sleep assessment before making a guard.

Teeth grinding and night guard FAQs

Most people are told by someone else, or they notice a sore jaw in the morning, headaches, flattened front teeth or teeth that have turned sensitive. The wear pattern on the teeth usually settles it.

No. It takes the force off the teeth so the enamel, fillings and crowns stop being damaged. The grinding itself is usually driven by stress or sleep, and we talk about that too.

A soft guard suits mild grinding and clenching. A hard guard lasts longer and is what we use for moderate to heavy grinding.

A boil-and-bite guard rarely fits properly, and a loose guard can make clenching worse. A custom guard is made from a scan of your own teeth.

It depends on how hard you grind. Heavy grinders wear through a guard faster, which is exactly the damage it is saving your teeth from.

Worn teeth can be rebuilt with fillings, crowns or veneers. We protect them with a guard first, so the new work is not worn down in turn.
