Tooth Grinding
Tooth Grinding
Many patients notice themselves clenching or grinding their teeth. Sleep bruxism, or tooth grinding while sleeping, is often overlooked but can be due to a more serious condition of obstructive sleep apnea. Bruxism can lead to tooth breakage, tooth loss, or TMJ issues.
Most people who notice themselves grinding during the day, report the grinding when they are under stress such as at work.
