Interested districts and other entities are encouraged to visit, observe, ask questions and meet with learners and district leaders about our Performance-based System.
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.
1 Avoid alcohol. Grinding tends to intensify after alcohol consumption. 2  Do not chew on pencils or pens or anything that is not food. Avoid chewing gum as it allows your jaw muscles to get more used to clenching and makes you more likely to grind your teeth.  Train yourself not to clench or grind your teeth.
