An occlusal splint is a custom-made and removable dental appliance that is designed to help prevent and protect the teeth, jaw and muscles from wear, overuse & damage.

If you or your dentist have noticed wear to your biting surfaces, chips or crack to your teeth it is normally an indication that you may clench or grind your teeth. This can cause a multitude of symptoms other than damage to your teeth such as pain, aching jaws/teeth, sensitivity, headaches & difficulty chewing. If this sounds like you, chat to us today on how we can help you ease or fix these symptoms. We offer several types of occlusal splints to suit your needs at Tannum Dental.
