Tooth Grinding Epidemic

The epidemic of tooth clenching and grinding has hit Ohio and Yellow Springs, Ohio especially hard.

During the past three years I have seen more patients who are damaging their teeth by grinding and clenching than at any previous time in my career.

I am sure that it is a direct result of the increased economic stress that the US is experiencing.  Many people express their stress by gritting their teeth and getting on with life.

When the grinding occurs during the day people can consciously stop it.  But the NIGHTIME GRINDING does more damage because, while asleep, tooth grinders smash their teeth together with hundreds of pound pressures.

No one can escape the circumstances of this financial downturn-but, with our help, at least people’s teeth don’t have to suffer.

The quick relief from this kind of damage is provided by OUR SOFT SHOCK-ABSORBING MOUTH GUARD.  We make these soothing and protective guards that FIT LIKE A GLOVE.  They will not disturb. We make them from a transparent invisible material that PEOPLE CANNOT SEE.Courtesy of Glidewell Lab

We make them to cover only the lower teeth so they do not interfere with speech.  Many of our patients wear them all day long—since one of the most stressful times they have is WHEN THEY ARE AT WORK.

These shock-absorbers immediately stop the tooth wear while also alleviating the pressure in the TMJ area that causes so many people to have HEADACHES.Jaw Joints can be a Pain in the Neck!

It takes a long time to change and improve the circumstances of life—too long when you’re damaging your teeth and jaw joint.

A mouth guard may provide JUST THE RELIEF YOU NEED during these difficult times.

Put teeth into Medicare.
