Teeth Grinding in Kensington
You may find yourself clenching or grinding your teeth without even realising. Most times it happens at night, but some people notice it during the day. Generally, the person doesn’t realise that they grind their teeth in their sleep. The spouse or partner who shares their bed (and hears the grinding noises at night) is often the first to notice the problem.
In mild cases of teeth grinding (or bruxism) you may not require attention, however more serious cases need attention to prevent permanent damage from occurring.
As with anything, prevention is always better than cure. This will not only save you from further pain down the track, it will definitely save you money in the long run.
Most people readily maintain their cars every 10,000kms or on a yearly basis.

Shouldn’t we focus on maintaining our teeth more often then?
