Snorban® for Teeth Grinding
An Edinburgh dental surgery has seen an increase of 10 to 20 per cent increase in bruxism – the medical term for teeth grinding – in the last 18 months. These came from workers in banks, fund managers and financial service companies or whose job involves frequent travelling.
Since the recession, job worries have increased and so have the stress levels of the workforce. Stress has many effects on the body including teeth grinding which can cause the sufferer eating problems and severe jaw or mouth pain.
Many are not aware that anything is wrong until they need treatment for cracked teeth or tension headaches – or are alerted by disgruntled partners who have been awoken by the noise.
To alleviate this problem and greatly reduce the amount of dental wear, dental practices strongly recommend bite guards. SnorBan®, the mandibular advancement device, is one of these and is ideally suited to treat this problem.
