Boston area residents who grind their teeth at night are not alone. The American Dental Association estimates that 10-15% of Americans grind their teeth.  To help combat the harmful effects of teeth grinding, Brookline Dental Center is announcing a limited time offer to receive a custom fitted night guard at a significantly reduced price.  Starting November 1, 2011 through December 15, 2011 Brookline Dental Center is reducing prices on custom night guards from $690 to $450.

Bruxism is the medical term for grinding, gnashing or clenching teeth.  Many individuals are unaware that they grind their teeth until they begin to experience painful side effects.  Symptoms of bruxism can include facial pain, earaches, migraines, jaw disorders, headaches and damaged teeth.

Stress can be one of the biggest underlying causes of teeth grinding.  Brookline Dental Center believes that an increase in clients complaining of teeth grinding may be linked to current economical stressors.

Brookline Dental Center finds that a recent rise in patient complaints associated with bruxism is most likely due in part to the current economical downturn. According to Dr. Rasool of Brookline Dental Center, “Some patients can be grinding their teeth for 40 minutes to a full hour at night without realizing it.  This can leave them with serious pain and discomfort in the morning the next day.”  Dr Rasool advises that investing in a night guard now can save thousands of dollars in the future.  “Treating the side effects of bruxism can be quite costly.  Anyone who is experiencing even minor teeth grinding at night should seriously look into a night guard to prevent future damage.”

A night guard is the most common treatment for this disorder. The guard not only prevents further wear of the enamel but also in some cases may be instrumental in reversing the disorder by training the patient to stop grinding.  The guard is custom fitted for the patient’s unique bite.  Dr. Rasool also notes that some insurance plans allow for custom fitted night guards, so consumers are advised to check with their insurance.

Boston residents considering a night guard should call Brookline Dental Center at 617-734-2222 immediately.

Brookline Dental Center serving the Boston-metro area announces a 10% senior citizen discount on all dental services from May 1 to June 30, 2011.

Brookline Dental Center offers general, cosmetic and restorative dental services performed by Harvard trained dentists.

As the cost of dental care and dental insurance for seniors continues to rise, many senior citizens struggle to get affordable dental care.  According to Dr. Rasool of Brookline Dental Center, senior citizens are at the greatest risk of developing life threatening dental problems.  “Recent studies have linked certain dental problems like periodontal disease to strokes, diabetes, respiratory disease, and heart disease,” says Dr. Rasool.  “Plus, despite being preventable, periodontal disease and tooth decay are the leading causes of tooth loss in seniors.”

Dental Care for Seniors in the Boston Metro Area

Dental care for senior citizens at Brookline Dental Center includes proper oral hygiene and in some cases may include restorative dentistry procedures to replace missing teeth.  During the month of February, a 10% discount towards any service(s) will be extended to all senior citizens.  Dr. Rasool hopes that any seniors who have been neglecting their oral health will take advantage of this opportunity to mend any existing conditions.

Boston area residents who would like to learn more about the services offered by Brookline Dental Center can call 617-734-2222.
