Teeth Grinding Treatment in Westchester, NY

Stop the Grind. Save Your Smile. Sleep Better.

Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You might be grinding your teeth in your sleep—often without even realizing it. This condition, known as bruxism, affects millions of people and can lead to long-term damage if left untreated.

At Westchester Family Dentistry & Implant Center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating sleep-related teeth grinding with gentle, personalized care. Our custom-fit night guards and bite correction therapies can help you protect your teeth, relieve discomfort, and enjoy a better night’s sleep.

What Is Sleep Bruxism?

Bruxism is the involuntary grinding, clenching, or gnashing of teeth—usually during sleep. While occasional grinding may not be harmful, frequent bruxism can wear down enamel, cause jaw pain, and lead to serious dental problems.

Common signs and symptoms include:

  • Flattened, chipped, or worn-down teeth
  • Morning headaches or migraines
  • Sore jaw or facial muscles
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Clicking or popping in the jaw (TMJ issues)
  • Disrupted sleep

Many people are unaware they grind their teeth until a dentist spots the damage during a routine checkup—or until painful symptoms appear.

What Causes Teeth Grinding?

Bruxism can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Sleep disorders like sleep apnea
  • Misaligned bite (malocclusion)
  • Missing or crooked teeth
  • Lifestyle habits like caffeine or alcohol use
