Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Clenching and grinding your teeth while sleeping is a common problem and known in the dental profession as Bruxism. It is often related to stress and anxiety.
Grinding your teeth while asleep doesn't always cause symptoms but some people get facial pain and headaches. One of the worst affects of bruxism is the damage to your teeth and jaw which become worn away. Bruxism can also disrupt the sleep of your partner or family. Sleep bruxism should also be treated as it is frequently associated with other sleep disorders and pain concerns such as temporomandibular disorder.
