DO YOU ALWAYS GRIND YOUR TEETH??? Excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching leads to loss of tooth structure which is known as bruxism. It is a common behavior and often seen during sleep. There are various symptoms commonly associated with bruxism, including pain in jaw muscles, headaches, sensitivity in teeth, tooth wear, and sleep disturbances due to persistent pain. Cause of such dental abrasion may also arise from interaction of teeth with other objects such as toothbrushes, toothpicks, floss, and ill-fitting dental retainers and dentures, or any history of adverse oral habits such as nail biting, chewing tobacco, improper brushing techniques are subjected to higher risks of abrasion. Symptoms may be minimal, without patient being aware of the condition. If nothing is done, after some time, many teeth will start wearing down until the entire tooth is gone.
