BRUXISM

Grinding Teeth

Bruxism is a condition in which you grind, gnash or clench your teeth. If you have bruxism, you may unconsciously clench your teeth together during the day, or clench or grind them at night (sleep bruxism).

Sleep bruxism is considered a sleep-related movement disorder. People who clench or grind their teeth (brux) during sleep are more likely to have other sleep disorders, such as snoring and pauses in breathing (sleep apnea). Mild bruxism may not require treatment. However, in some people, bruxism can be frequent and severe enough to lead to jaw disorders, headaches, damaged teeth and other problems.

Because you may have sleep bruxism and be unaware of it until complications develop, it's important to know the signs and symptoms of bruxism and to seek regular dental care.

In many cases, treatment isn't necessary. Many kids outgrow bruxism without treatment, and many adults don't grind or clench their teeth badly enough to require therapy. However, if the problem is severe, treatment options include certain dental approaches, therapies and medications. Talk to your doctor about what may work best for you. If you or your child has bruxism, your dentist may suggest ways to preserve or improve your teeth. Although these methods may prevent or correct the wear to your teeth, they may not stop the bruxism:

A careful and detailed analysis by our dentists will help establish the underlying causes and best mode of treatment for your condition, with recommended treatment plan suited to your needs.

Splints and mouth guards.

These are designed to keep teeth separated to avoid the damage caused by clenching and grinding. They can be constructed of hard acrylic or soft materials and fit over your upper or lower teeth.

Dental correction

Correcting teeth that aren't properly aligned may help if your bruxism seems to be related to dental problems. In severe cases — when tooth wear has led to sensitivity or the inability to chew properly — your dentist may need to reshape the chewing surfaces of your teeth or use crowns. In certain cases, your dentist may recommend braces or oral surgery.

No one likes the dentist - right? Well in general that may be true, but the team at Mansion House Dental may go some way to changing your mind. Having neglected visiting for way too long, toothache (of course!) made me seek out a City-based dentist. On a recommendation from my friend I booked Mansion House Dental and was seen by Dr Qasim Abbasi. I've visited a few times in the last year. Professional, skilled and effective - all the things you would expect. But on top of that Dr Qasim has gone out of his way to make sure I am comfortable and clear about the treatment I am receiving. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you.

The guys at mansion house have done an amazing job giving me a great smile in time for my wedding. They delivered a complete service, including invisalign and manual tooth building work. They worked to a tight timeframe and really went above and beyond. Thanks so much guys.

Cannot recommend Dr Qasim Abbasi more highly. Thoroughly professional and clearly very knowledgable with respect to dental innovation. Recent experience of a front tooth cap procedure was not only pain free, but very successful aesthetically and exceeded my expectations. Competitively priced for such a central location. I would not hesitate to recommend the practice. Karen Stevenson.

Dr Qasim and the whole team at Mansion House Dental have been nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. They take the time to thoroughly explain everything that’s needed and really put an emphasis on preventative treatments, rather than rushing into work that might needn’t be done. Onto top of this, it’s is all done in such a calming and relaxed environment, which really helps put you at ease. Really cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again team.

Not usually a big fan of going to the dentist but M Abasi is really amazing. Makes this experience very enjoyable. Very nice practice. Thumbs up to the whole team

Great experience (and that is saying something as I am not someone who enjoys a trip to the dentist). Everything is explained prior to agreeing your treatment plan and, having had the necessary work completed now, I am very happy with the results and the aftercare (all included in the price). The whole team is friendly and professional and having tried a few dentists in the area I am happy to recommend the Mansion House Dental Practice. Overall excellent.

Was able to be booked in and treated with a very fast turn around. The treatment itself was of a very high quality. I'm very happy with the service and would highly recommend it even if it means travelling into the city.

As someone who isn't a fan of the dentist and had been going to the same practice for over 18 years, it's safe to say I was slightly apprehensive for my first visit last week. 5 minutes in and I realised there was no need to worry - Not only is Dr. Abbasi patient and friendly, every other member is welcoming and the practice itself feels nothing like your typical dentist. Highly recommend!

Really impressed with these guys. I was massively worried about the Invisalign process and the team here really put me at ease. Taking me through the process clearly and efficiently with no hard selling. When I first got my braces I kept panicking about every little thing and it was never a problem to drop in and speak to one of the experts who did everything to put me at ease. The team are so friendly and are happy to answer queries in person, by phone or email. The costs of treatment are clear with no nasty surprises. Can't recommend enough!
