Stop the grind. Start feeling better.
Bruxism, chronic teeth grinding and clenching, can silently damage your teeth, cause chronic jaw pain, and disrupt your sleep. It often happens during sleep or under stress, making it hard to detect until damage has already been done. At Gresham Dental, our teeth grinding dentists offer advanced care to help you manage bruxism and protect your oral health.
Don’t let untreated grinding wear down your smile. With the right treatment, you can relieve discomfort, preserve your teeth, and sleep more peacefully. Give us a call at (503) 563-8396 to get started.
Do you need treatment for bruxism?
You may be dealing with teeth grinding if you’re experiencing:
- Worn, cracked, or flattened teeth
- Frequent jaw pain or facial tension
- Morning headaches or migraines
- Clicking or popping of the jaw joint (TMJ sounds)
- Disrupted sleep or nighttime clenching
- Tooth sensitivity or unexplained damage
Left untreated, bruxism can lead to tooth fractures, gum recession, bite problems, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). If you’re noticing any of these signs, at Gresham Dental, we can help you find relief and long-term protection.
Treatment options for tor bruxism
Custom Mouthguards
These dental appliances are worn while you sleep to create a cushion between your teeth, preventing wear and reducing strain on the jaw.
TMJ Therapy
If bruxism has impacted your jaw joints, we offer non-invasive therapies to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore joint health.
Stress Reduction Strategies
Since stress and anxiety are common causes of bruxism, we offer guidance on lifestyle changes and habits that can reduce grinding and improve sleep quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes bruxism?
Bruxism is often linked to stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, or bite issues. Lifestyle factors like caffeine, alcohol, and certain medications can also play a role.
Can bruxism go away on its own?
Sometimes mild bruxism fades with reduced stress, but in most cases, treatment is needed to prevent long-term damage and relieve symptoms.
Are mouthguards uncomfortable?
Not at all, custom mouthguards are molded to fit your teeth precisely. Most patients find them easy to wear and notice improvements within days.
What if I don’t treat my bruxism?
Untreated bruxism can lead to tooth damage, jaw dysfunction, and chronic pain. Early intervention helps you avoid expensive dental repairs down the road.
