Grinding and/or clenching your teeth every night while you sleep can lead to:
- Sore teeth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Worn enamel
- Gum recession
- Damaged dental work
- Tension headaches
- Popping jaw joints
- Tenderness when biting or chewing
People who grind their teeth at night know it. These symptoms are difficult to ignore. For some people, teeth grinding is temporary, a side effect during a time of stress. For others, the condition is permanent and without intervention can result in many oral health complications and serious pain.
