What is bruxism?
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurring during sleep. It can also happen during the day due to stress or muscle tension.
Common symptoms include worn or chipped teeth, jaw pain, headaches, facial muscle soreness, tooth sensitivity, ear discomfort, and clicking or stiffness in the jaw.
Treatment may include a custom night guard, stress management techniques, bite adjustments when appropriate, and addressing underlying TMJ or sleep-related conditions.
Yes. Untreated bruxism can lead to enamel wear, cracked teeth, damaged restorations, gum recession, and long-term jaw problems.
A night guard won’t necessarily stop the grinding habit, but it protects your teeth from damage, reduces pressure on your jaw, and helps relieve many of the associated symptoms.
