Why Kids and Adults Grind Their Teeth
Grinding teeth can result from stress, growing 
teeth, or misaligned bites, with children often 
outgrowing it while adults require treatment to 
prevent damage.
Spot the Signs Early
Recognize bruxism symptoms like flattened teeth, 
sore facial muscles, or jaw pain early to prevent 
long-term damage and ensure timely dental 
intervention.
Create Calming Bedtime Routines
Establishing relaxing bedtime habits like reading, avoiding 
screens, or using calming music can reduce stress and help 
prevent nighttime teeth grinding.

Protect Teeth with a Custom Guard
Custom-fitted nightguards provide gentle 
protection, prevent teeth damage, and retrain 
jaw muscles to relax, making them ideal for 
managing bruxism effectively.
Stay Consistent with Dental Visits
Regular dental checkups help monitor wear, adjust 
bites, and detect bruxism early, ensuring strong, 
healthy teeth for both children and adults.
