In this video, Dr. David Shannon, implant dentist in Northridge, CA., extracts truth from fiction regarding the issue of teeth grinding. Teeth grinding, according to Dr. David Shannon, cannot be alleviated, but it can be controlled. Teeth can be protected from the detrimental effects of teeth grinding and trauma with the use of "soft appliances." To protect the teeth from the pressure and force of grinding, soft appliances act as shock absorbers. Teeth with metal fillings are especially prone to cracking, if the patient also happens to grind the teeth at night. For night teeth grinders, night guards that are constructed of a soft, pliable vinyl material are effective when placed over the bottom teeth. While night guards do not hinder speech, they do assist in resolving sleep apnea as an additional benefit.
Dr. Shannon also serves the following cities: Northridge, Chatsworth, Encino, West Hills, Canoga Park, Reseda, Tarzana and Woodland Hills
