Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism): with every problem of daily life, stress is an unavoidable reality, and it triggers different reactions in each person — teeth grinding is one of them.
Psychological factors, teeth not meeting in harmony, and certain antidepressant medications are among the causes of teeth grinding. Besides stress, bruxism is also seen in highly nervous, sensitive and meticulous individuals. As with every condition, early diagnosis is important: with each passing period, irreversible damage can occur in the teeth and surrounding tissues.
How is teeth grinding recognized?
Grinding can cause fractures and wear at the tips and necks of teeth or across entire teeth. The jaw tires quickly, especially with hard-to-chew foods. Ear pain and headaches are frequent, and tooth marks may appear on the tongue from unnoticed biting.
