Here’s What You Should Know About Bruxism

If you frequently clench or grind your teeth, you most likely have a condition known as bruxism. Bruxism or teeth grinding is a serious condition that shouldn’t be left untreated, so here are basics you should know about it.

Key takeaway:

Bruxism is often caused by genetics, stress, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and health conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.

Symptoms include frequent headaches and severe pain in the jaw, neck, ear or face.

Treatment options for bruxism include wearing mouth guards and bite splints.

Visit your dentist as soon as you notice any bruxism symptoms.
