82 Million Americans are Destroying Their Teeth by Clenching and Grinding

A recent Chicago Dental Society survey shows that almost 75 per cent of the 250 dentists surveyed say they have noticed marked increase in clenching or grinding which they believe is caused by stress from the economic downturn. That’s why Dr. Joe Pelerin invented GrindGuardN http://www. GrindGuardN. com, a newly patented, FDA-approved mouth guard that is far more effective than other solutions and costs only $50.

Lake Orion, MI (PRWEB) January 5, 2011

At least 25 per cent of the population, or 82 million Americans, clench or grind their teeth to the point of destructiveness.

Studies show that almost all people unconsciously grind or clench their teeth now and then and that more than 80 percent of all bruxers (people who grind or clench teeth) are either unaware of their habit or ashamed of it.

Teeth grinding impacts all ages with reports of children as young as 8 years old and adults over 80 years of age impacted by the unconscious nighttime habit.

A recent Chicago Dental Society survey shows that almost 75 per cent of the 250 dentists surveyed say they have noticed marked increase in clenching or grinding which they believe is caused by stress from the economic downturn.

Dr. Joe Pelerin of Lake Orion, Michigan who has practiced family dentistry for three decades, says teeth grinding and clenching not only damages teeth and fillings and leads to receding gums and root canals, but also can be the cause of migraine headaches and pain in the shoulders, neck, back and ears.

Because most people are unaware of all the ailments that can be caused by tooth grinding and clenching, adds Dr. Pelerin, far too many individuals suffer needlessly for years from chronic pain when a simple and inexpensive solution is available.

That’s why Pelerin invented GrindGuardN http://www. GrindGuardN. com, a newly patented, FDA-approved mouth guard that is far more effective than other solutions and costs only $50.

“Dentists routinely charge $750 for a mouth guard that may not solve the problem,” explains Dr. Pelerin. “If every teeth grinder in North America bought a GrindGuardN instead of the high priced versions, it would collectively save billions of dollars.”

“Additional savings would occur by reducing costs for other medical expenditures. Many suffering people will get $5,000 MRI’s or CAT scans, undergo physical therapy as well as medical treatments, chiropractic care not to mention medications for pain. The sad reality is that they’ll never get better because the root of the problem is their teeth grinding and not something else,” added Pelerin.

GrindGuardN, which can be purchased online to qualified buyers for $50, has worked so effectively for his patients that Dr. Pelerin offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. His invention stands apart from all other devices because of its patented Central Power Bar that releases the stimulus for clenching, thereby reducing clenching and grinding activity by 70 percent.

“GrindGuardN is easy to fit, is very comfortable to wear, and is highly effective,” concludes Dr. Pelerin. “I’ve invented some 10 products but I take the greatest pleasure from inventing GrindGuardN because of the terrific, life-changing results that patients experience.”
