Clenching & Grinding
Around 70% of people clench and grind their teeth, which can lead to a variety of symptoms. These symptoms frequently include headaches, jaw pain, chipping and cracking teeth, and teeth moving position.
This is usually a response to stress in your life, and whilst it isn’t possible for me to control the stress and stop this, there are a number of ways in which I can help you to control these symptoms and to reduce the damage to your teeth and jaw joints caused by the clenching. In the long run reducing the forces on your teeth protects them and should mean that you need less dramatic dental treatment.
Snoring & Sleep Apnoea
Do you feel tired and lethargic due to lack of sleep?
If you do not sleep well then your body might not be getting all the rest it needs. Sleep Apnoea, a condition in which your breathing becomes irregular in your sleep, could be causing this problem.
If the body isn't getting enough air in the lungs, you will find that every 5 to 30 minutes, your body is breathing in with a loud snorting or choking sound then going back to normal, dragging you back into a lighter sleep each time.
​
Sleep apnoea is difficult to diagnose, unless someone watches over you while you sleep! If you or your partner is suffering from this condition, we can help you overcome it. For more information, call us today.
