I’ve been noticing some jaw stiffness and occasional headaches and I’m worried I might be grinding my teeth at night. I’m not sure if it’s serious, but I’d like to know if a dentist can detect any early signs before it gets worse. Can this be checked during a regular dental visit?

Yes, general dentists at Ashford Dental Centre can often detect early signs of bruxism during routine check-ups. They look for worn-down teeth, enamel cracks or jaw tenderness that may indicate teeth grinding. Early detection allows them to recommend treatments like night guards or stress management to prevent further damage.
