Teeth grinding can create numerous problems such as local muscular pain, headaches, loss of tooth structure, gum recession, loose teeth, shortening of teeth, tooth sensitivity, cracked and broken teeth, damage to the bone structure of the jaw joint with temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ syndrome), and even facial changes.
Teeth grinding (bruxism) is an involuntary clenching and grinding of the teeth, usually during sleep. Causes can include stress, concentration and drug misuse. Treatments include mouthguards worn at night, repair of tooth damage, muscle-relaxant medication and stress management therapy.
