Grinding, Bruxing and Clenching

Make Grinding Teeth a Thing Of The Past

Bruxing, commonly known as tooth grinding, is the clenching together of the bottom and the upper jaw accompanied by the grinding of the lower set of teeth with the upper set. Unfortunately, bruxism is a subconscious behavior so many people don’t even realize they are doing it!

Although it can occur during the waking hours, bruxism most frequently occurs while we sleep. It can lead to pain and cause damage to gums and other oral structures.

Other Symptoms of Bruxism:

• Sore facial muscles, headaches and earaches
• Cosmetic damage
• Sensitive teeth
• Fractured teeth and fillings
