How to deal with teeth grinding
People with bruxism grind their teeth when anxious, angry or asleep. Unfortunately, teeth grinding can cause many dental complications like enamel erosion, cavities, sensitivity and discolouration.
Key points:
– Symptoms include morning headaches, sore jaws and a grinding sound at night.
– Teeth grinding will erode your teeth, causing complications like dental implants, root canals and dentures.
– You can stop teeth grinding by practicing stress reduction techniques and avoiding caffeinated drinks.
Your dentist can provide a mouthpiece that will help protect your teeth and end bruxism. Book an appointment with your dentist today and have your teeth checked and treated.
