Do You Grind Your Teeth? A Splint Or Mouth Guard Might Be Your New Best Friend

Hey Frankston! 👋

Waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or teeth that feel a little off? You might be grinding your teeth in your sleep — and trust us, you’re not alone. Teeth grinding (also called bruxism) is super common, especially during times of stress.

It can cause serious damage — cracked or fractured teeth, broken fillings, worn teeth, saw jaw and head muscles and even jaw joint issues like TMD (some people call it TMJ). Not exactly ideal.

But here’s the good news: a custom-made teeth grinding splint, mouth guard, or night guard can make a world of difference.

At Peninsula Gateway Dental , we create splints that are designed just for you. These slim, comfy devices are worn at night and act like a cushion to protect your teeth from grinding against each other. They can help ease jaw pain, prevent further damage, and even help you sleep better.

And the best part? No goopy impressions! 🙌
We use modern 3D scanning technology to get an accurate digital model of your teeth — it’s quick, clean, and way more comfortable. From that scan, we custom-make your splint for a perfect fit.

So whether you’re dealing with jaw pain, suspect you have TMJ or TMD, or have already had a cracked tooth or filling, our team of family dentists in Frankston is here to help.

Come see us at Peninsula Gateway Dental — we’ll check things out, chat through your options, and help protect that smile of yours.

Book in today and let’s keep Frankston smiling! 😁
