Did you know that teeth grinding and clenching occurs as often as snoring?
This unconscious action, known as bruxism, is both a medical and dental problem that affects the teeth and all the structures near them.
Bruxism not only damages the teeth, but it can also cause pain in the joints and chewing muscles, headaches, and other unpleasant symptoms.
The reasons? Stress, anxiety, malocclusion, high or unsmoothed fillings, untreated cavities are just a few of them.
