Grinding

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a condition where a person unconsciously clenches and grinds their teeth, often during sleep. This can lead to a number of dental issues such as tooth wear and damage, jaw pain and headaches. It can also cause or exacerbate other oral conditions such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Teeth grinding is often caused by stress and anxiety, but can also be caused by other factors such as sleep disorders or misaligned teeth.
