Is Your Sleep Apnea Causing Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)?
Waking up with jaw pain or headaches? You could be grinding your teeth at night — a condition known as bruxism — and it might be linked to sleep apnea. In this post, Espire Dental explores the connection between nighttime teeth grinding and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including key symptoms to watch for, how your dentist can help detect it, and the best treatment options — from night guards to oral appliances and CPAP therapy. Learn how treating the root cause can protect your smile and improve your sleep quality.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a quick, painless way to protect your molars from cavities. Applied to the deep grooves of back teeth, sealants act as a protective barrier that blocks out bacteria and food particles that can cause decay. In this post, Espire Dental explains how sealants work, their long-term benefits, and why they’re a smart investment in preventive dental care. Discover how sealants help reduce the need for fillings and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown acts like a protective helmet for your tooth, covering and strengthening it after damage from decay, fractures, or large fillings. In this blog, Espire Dental explains why you might need a crown and how their CEREC® same-day crown technology makes the process quick, comfortable, and convenient. Discover how same-day crowns restore both function and aesthetics in just one visit — no temporary crowns, no messy impressions, and no waiting weeks for your final result.
