Bruxism (teeth grinding)

Teeth grinding and jaw clenching (also called bruxism) is often related to stress or anxiety.Bruxism does not always have symptoms however, some people may experience facial pain and headaches and over time bruxism can wear down teeth.

Very often those that suffer with bruxism and grind their teeth and clench their jaw are not aware that it is happening. They are often asleep or while focusing on other things, such as work or a concern that is causing a level of stress.
