What is Bruxism?
Bruxism refers to a condition in which you grind or clench your teeth involuntarily, often leading to various dental issues and discomfort. This habitual grinding can result in jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, and even damage to tooth enamel and dental restorations. In severe cases, untreated bruxism can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and other complications.
It’s important to be vigilant for bruxism symptoms, especially if you notice signs like worn-down teeth, jaw muscle soreness, or clicking sounds in the jaw joint. Some individuals may unknowingly grind their teeth while sleeping, making it crucial to pay attention to any morning symptoms such as facial pain or headaches.
In addition to monitoring symptoms, seeking professional dental care is essential for managing bruxism effectively.
