Bruxism is the act of consciously or unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth either during the day or while you sleep. Bruxism is considered both a medical and a dental problem. This is because it affects both the teeth and all of the structure near it, including the head.
People grind their teeth for a variety of reasons. Doctors believe that it is because of stress. Dentists say that it happens because one’s teeth are not properly aligned with each other. Whatever the cause, treatment should not be delayed. Teeth grinding may not seem to be a major health issue but can lead to problems such as broken, chipped or worn teeth; broken dentures; headaches and migraines; ear ringing; sore jaw joints (TMJ); dizziness; and sore head, neck and shoulder muscles.
You will be fitted by our dentist with custom Mouth Guards to prevent you from grinding and clenching your teeth. Night mouth guards are bite pads that are worn at night as you sleep. These guards are made of high-grade plastic and should fit the teeth or mouth perfectly. This device keeps the upper teeth from grinding with the lower teeth, offering an instant solution to teeth clenching problems.

Dr. Baker and staff are very professional, I drove from another county for this appointment and I am definitely now a repeat customer. Great job folks!!!
I appreciate the care, that not only I've received, but the care of my entire family. God bless each of you.
Very caring and friendly staff. They take their time to make sure you are comfortable. The extraction was not an easy one and the Dr took his time to stop and check on me throughout the procedure I will be making Dr. Baker my permanent dentists, and we will be seeing a lot of him in the future. Build up those muscles Dr. Thank you for making me feel welcome.
I really glad my co-worker recommended Dr Baker. I just had my 6-month cleaning. The staff very courteous, professional, and explains everything. Dr Baker is a real pro. I highly recommend them.
Dr. Baker's office provides excellent service and his dentistry skills are excellent. The work that they do is explained thoroughly and completed with excellent quality. The charges for their work are fair and they process all of the required documents so that the customer receives maximum insurance benefits.
The office and staff is very professional. Dr. Baker was very nice and through. Would recommend to friends and family.
Andi takes great care and is gentle with cleanings. I had a real bad experience at the Dentist years ago and now Dr. Baker and his assistants have restored my faith in that not all Dentists or hygienists are equal in the talent they possess...A++++++
The title of my review says it all. It's always a pleasure to visit Dr Baker's office he & his staff are completely honest and always provide me with all my options. Thank you for doing an awesome job! Candice
I was impressed with all of the new equipment Dr. baker has purchased for his practice. He uses the latest cutting edge digital X-rays and scanners. He even has athe equipment to make a crown while you wait! no more leaving with a temporary crown and coming back a week later. I left my old dentist because his equipment and office were outdated. so glad I chose to use a groupon to try Dr. Baker. I have found the perfect dentist office.
Quick easy and harmless. I love the staff! They are very welcoming and informative.
