If you experience persistent jaw pain, frequent headaches or notice your teeth are wearing down, it’s time to seek professional care from our team at Narraweena Smiles. TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) can lead to serious issues if left untreated, including tooth fractures, chronic jaw discomfort and even difficulty eating or speaking. Many people don’t realise they grind their teeth at night until symptoms like morning jaw soreness, tension headaches or increased tooth sensitivity appear.
Seeing a dentist in Narraweena early can prevent long-term damage and improve your overall comfort. At Narraweena Smiles, we assess your symptoms and offer custom treatments like nightguards, jaw exercises and botulinum neurotoxin injections to relieve tension and protect your teeth. If you hear clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth, experience lockjaw or feel muscle stiffness, these could also be signs of TMJ dysfunction that need attention.
Ignoring these symptoms may lead to worsening pain, worn enamel and bite misalignment. Seeking treatment early ensures that you maintain a healthy, pain-free smile and avoid more extensive interventions in the future.
