Bruxism ialah tabiat menggertakkan atau mengetap gigi, selalunya berlaku semasa tidur tanpa anda sedari.
Tanda-tanda bruxism termasuk sakit rahang pada waktu pagi, gigi sensitif, gigi yang kelihatan pendek atau rata, dan sakit kepala yang kerap.
Dari masa ke masa, bruxism boleh memakai enamel gigi, menyebabkan gigi sensitif, retak, dan masalah sendi rahang (TMJ).
Night guard ialah pelindung gigi yang dipakai semasa tidur. Ia dibuat secara tersuai oleh doktor gigi untuk memberikan kesesuaian yang selesa dan perlindungan yang berkesan.
Jika anda mengalami simptom bruxism, berjumpa doktor gigi. Night guard tersuai jauh lebih selesa dan berkesan daripada pelindung yang dibeli di kedai.
