Teeth grinding relief starts here

If you wake up with a sore jaw or frequent headaches, you could be dealing with bruxism, unconscious teeth clenching or grinding, often during sleep. Over time, this pressure can cause serious damage to your teeth and jaw.

At Costa + Williams Dentistry in Charleston, we specialize in identifying the root causes of bruxism and crafting custom solutions that bring relief, before the damage worsens. Whether you’re experiencing worn teeth, TMJ discomfort, or just want to stop grinding altogether, we’re here to help.

Signs of Teeth Clenching and GrindingHow to know if you have bruxism

You may not even realize you’re grinding your teeth at night, but the symptoms add up over time. Here are a few red flags:

Waking up with jaw or facial soreness
Frequent headaches or earaches
Cracked, chipped, or worn – down teeth
Clicking or popping in the jaw
Soreness after chewing tough foods

The sooner we catch the signs, the easier it is to prevent more serious issues like tooth fractures, gum recession, or jaw dysfunction.
