Understanding Bruxism
SnoringBruxism is a common condition characterized by the grinding, clenching, or gnashing of teeth, often involuntarily and during sleep. While occasional teeth grinding might not cause significant issues, chronic bruxism can lead to various oral health problems:
Tooth Wear Bruxism can lead to enamel erosion, tooth sensitivity, and even fractured teeth.
Headaches and Jaw Pain Persistent teeth grinding can cause tension headaches and jaw discomfort.
TMJ Disorders Bruxism can contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, leading to jaw pain and dysfunction.
