Bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding or clenching, is a condition that affects many people, often without them realizing it. It can occur while awake or during sleep, and its severity ranges from mild discomfort to significant dental problems. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to tooth wear, fractures, jaw pain, headaches, and even long-term damage to your oral health.

Early detection is key to preventing permanent damage and maintaining a healthy, comfortable smile.
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can develop due to a combination of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors. Stress and anxiety often trigger unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth, especially during sleep. Misaligned teeth or an abnormal bite can put extra pressure on your jaw muscles, leading to grinding. Certain medical conditions, medications, or sleep disorders like sleep apnea also increase the risk. Additionally, habits like excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption can contribute to bruxism. Understanding the underlying causes helps in providing effective treatment and protecting your teeth from long-term damage.
