Treatment

Treatment for grinding depends on the cause. To ensure your grinding doesn’t do damage to you as you sleep, we recommend you wear a mouth guard. Mouth guards are made by taking a simple mould of your teeth in the dental surgery, and sending this mould off to a specialist company to create your personalised mouth guard.
