Australia, 23rd Oct 2024, - Totalcare Dental and Dermal has launched a new treatment for teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, in response to the growing prevalence of the condition in the Sydney community. This specialised service is designed to address both the immediate and long-term effects of bruxism, offering patients an effective approach to managing the condition.
Teeth grinding is a common yet often undiagnosed issue, typically occurring during sleep. If untreated, it can lead to a range of complications, including excessive tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. In more severe cases, it can contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. With the introduction of this service, Totalcare Dental and Dermal aim to help those suffering from bruxism avoid the escalation of these dental health issues.
"Teeth grinding can go unnoticed for years, but its impact on dental health can be significant," said Ishara Goonewardene, Owner of Totalcare Dental and Dermal. "This new treatment offers patients the opportunity to mitigate the harmful effects of bruxism before it causes lasting damage."
The treatment plan begins with a thorough examination to assess the extent of bruxism and any related damage. For patients diagnosed with the condition, custom-fitted night guards are commonly prescribed to prevent further grinding during sleep. These guards serve to protect the teeth from excessive wear while also alleviating jaw discomfort. In cases where grinding has already caused notable dental damage, restorative treatments such as crowns or veneers may be recommended to repair and strengthen the affected teeth.
Totalcare Dental and Dermal's approach to teeth-grinding treatment also considers the potential underlying causes, including stress and other lifestyle factors. Patients may receive guidance on stress management techniques or lifestyle adjustments as part of a broader care plan aimed at addressing both the symptoms and the root causes of bruxism.
The clinic, located in Bondi Junction, continues to offer a full range of dental services to the Sydney community, including general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, orthodontics, and emergency care. The addition of this new treatment underscores its commitment to providing comprehensive care for a variety of dental concerns.
"As demand for specialised dental care continues to rise, expanding service offerings remains a priority," Goonewardene said. "Future plans include the integration of advanced technologies and techniques that will further enhance the quality of care provided."
The introduction of this specialised teeth grinding treatment reflects Totalcare Dental and Dermal’s ongoing dedication to addressing the diverse dental needs of patients in the Sydney area.
