Sleep Improvement Dentistry

Regaining your peaceful sleeps with Lumina Dental

Restless sleep can sometimes be linked to dental issues and sleep improvement dentistry may be the answer. Here are some common dental causes that might lead to sleep disturbances:

1. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): This condition involves grinding or clenching of teeth during sleep, which can disrupt sleep and lead to jaw pain or headaches upon waking.
2. Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD): Disorders of the jaw joint and chewing muscles can cause pain and discomfort, making it difficult to achieve restful sleep.
3. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): While primarily a medical condition, dental factors like the position of the teeth and jaw can contribute to the airway blockage that characterises sleep apnea.
4. Dental Pain and Infections: Issues like cavities, abscesses, or gum disease can cause significant pain or discomfort, which can interrupt sleep.
5. Improper Dental Appliances: Ill-fitting dentures, retainers, or mouthguards can cause discomfort or pain, leading to restless nights.
