Teeth Grinding

Teeth grinding is sometimes known as bruxism. It involves repetitively clenching the jaw or grinding the teeth and can cause a range of symptoms such as headaches, facial pain, ear pain and jaw pain or stiffness. For some people, grinding your teeth only occurs during sleep and you may even be unaware that you grind your teeth until someone tells you, or you notice the unfortunate results. It can be caused by a range of issues such as: poor sleep quality or length, stress and anxiety, certain medications or an unusual bite pattern.

 There is also evidence to suggest a genetic link in many cases of teeth grinding.
