Teeth grinding (aka, bruxism) affects your teeth and jaw, however people are often unaware that they grind their teeth at night.
Key takeaways:
- Teeth grinding puts pressure on the teeth and gums which can lead to inflammation and damage to connective tissue.
- Damage can cause tooth injury, sensitivity and uneven wear.
- The jaw can become painful through overuse and lead to related temporomandibular issues (TMJ) like waking with headaches.
If you suspect you grind your teeth, make an appointment with your dentist.
“The truth is that teeth grinding can have a bigger impact on your oral health than you might think.”
