Bruxism

Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding and clenching of the jaw. It can cause serious damage to your teeth, jaw and facial muscles, and is usually caused by stress or anxiety. In some cases, it can be related to a sleep disorder. Treatment for bruxism typically includes lifestyle changes such as stress management, and in some cases, the use of a night guard or other appliances. Bruxism is important to diagnose and treat, as it can lead to long-term dental and jaw problems, as well as disruption of sleep quality.
