There are 3 reasons that people loose their adult teeth: Decay, Boneloss, and Bite problems. If your bite is “off” you can grind away or even break teeth. For some the problem is an issue of PAIN. Jaw pain, neck, back, shoulder, arm or facial pain and even severe headaches are all common for people with TMJ dysfunction. A simple bite guard or pain splint may be the answer. This is a simple acrylic appliance, made to fit you and specific to your problem is easy to wear and interrupts bruxism or grinding and can relieve you of the pain and cost associated with a bad bite.
