What is Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)?

Bruxism is the condition where a person clenches or grinds their teeth during sleep or even throughout the day. Most of the time, the individual is not aware of it, and the complaints appear through other symptoms.

What Are the Symptoms?

• Tooth wear, cracks, or sensitivity

• Fatigue and pain in the jaw muscles

• Pain around the ears

• Grinding sounds during sleep noticed by others

• Waking up in the morning with jaw and headache

Treatment Methods

Night guards (splints): Transparent protectors that prevent teeth from being damaged.
Botox treatment: Relieves excessive contraction of the jaw muscles.
Stress management: Meditation, exercise, and breathing techniques can help reduce bruxism.
Regular dental check-ups: Early diagnosis can prevent tooth wear and jaw problems.
