Teeth Grinding FAQs

Roughly 20-30 percent of my patients have issues with teeth grinding. It’s a common problem that can be quite serious, particularly if it is not addressed in a timely and effective manner. Unfortunately, many patients do not realize that they are grinding or clenching their teeth until the effects are obvious – worn enamel and loss of tooth structure.

Recently, blogger Garance Dore shared her struggle with teeth grinding on her blog. Her post brought to my attention the many questions that patients have about teeth grinding, so I wanted to take some time to address those here.

I’ve been a patient with Dr Saylor for more than 12 yrs. I’m one of those people who spent half my life in a dentist chair, with many dentists, and Dr Larry Saylor is truly the best of the best! His work is amazing, he has great bedside manner, really cares about your health and well-being, as well as the best look aesthetically . He worked miracles for me! The staff is awesome, friendly and professional! Tiffaney is an amazing hygienist! I highly recommend Dr Saylor and staff … the best in the Tampa Bay Area!!!

I used to be anxious about going to the dentist but Dr. Saylor and his staff make the experience more tolerable and put you at ease. They do an excellent job especially the dental hygienist Kristen.
