Clenching and Grinding

If you’re looking for comprehensive dental in Mequon, look no further than Lux Dental!

Do you feel like you clench and grind your teeth, either during the day or night? Did you know that studies show that clenching and grinding is closely related to sleep disordered breathing and less related to the stress of daily life? It's thought that up to 30% of the population has some form of sleep disordered breathing and of that, 50% may clench and grind their teeth! Research is constantly ongoing with this connection but there are more and more risk factors connecting the two everyday.

Additionally, clenching and grinding doesn't just affect adults, kids are at risk as well. If you hear your child clenching and grinding at nighttime, it is not a normal part of growing up and he/she should be screened for similar risk factors.
