It’s May, which means the days are getting longer and the spring “to-do” list is growing. It’s also Better Sleep Month. If you find yourself waking up with a dull headache, a tight jaw, or even a sore neck, you might be tempted to blame your mattress or your pillow.
But for so many of people, the real culprit isn’t in the bedroom, it’s in the jaw.
Bruxism is the clinical term for grinding or clenching your teeth. Most people have no idea they’re doing it because it happens while they’re fast asleep. Over time, the force of clenching can apply hundreds of pounds of pressure to your teeth and jaw joints.
The result? You wake up feeling like you’ve been clenching your teeth all night, because you have and didn’t know it.
The solution is often much simpler than a lifestyle overhaul. A custom fitting Nightguard from My Fairfax Dental acts as a protective “cushion” between your upper and lower teeth.
Unlike the bulky, “boil-and-bite” guards you find at the drugstore, a professional guard is slim, comfortable, and specifically designed to align your jaw so your muscles can actually relax. It’s the difference between waking up exhausted and waking up refreshed.
Dr Hang Le and her team at My Fairfax Dental are ready to help educate you on your options for getting a better, pain-free night’s sleep. If you are tired of waking up with jaw pain or headaches, then please Contact us today to schedule a consultation and get the rest you deserve.
