Why People Grind Their Teeth at Night
Waking up with a sore jaw, headaches, or teeth that feel "tired" isn't something you should just accept. For many people, those signs point to nighttime grinding or clenching - also called bruxism. The tricky part? Most patients don't realize they're doing it until the damage shows up. Over time, grinding can wear down enamel, crack teeth, and even break dental work like crowns. A custom nightguard is a simple, comfortable way to protect your smile while you sleep. At BENE Dental, we create custom nightguards for patients looking for relief and protection in both Boston and Norwell.
