What to Do When You Grind Your Teeth


Have you ever stared at the mirror and noticed that your teeth appear…wrecked? You see chips, jagged lines, and all other qualities that denote physical damage. On top of that, you also feel a bit of pain. If you’ve experienced all that, then you might be suffering from a condition known as bruxism, a.k.a. teeth grinding. 

Bruxism, in a nutshell, is one of the most common sleep disorders and may occur even without the person knowing. Over time, the constant grinding and clenching shorten and blunt the teeth, leading to obvious physical damage, facial muscle pain, headaches, and a condition known as Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, TMJ, or TMD.
