What Causes Teeth Grinding and What Might Your Jaw Be Telling You?

Teeth grinding, clinically known as bruxism, most commonly occurs unconsciously during sleep.

What Are the Symptoms?

Morning jaw tension or soreness, headaches around the temples, enamel wear, and tooth sensitivity are common indicators of bruxism.

Treatment Options

A custom night guard (splint) is the most standard preventive approach. In selected cases, masseter botox can also be considered to alleviate excessive muscle hyperactivity.
