What is Sleep Bruxism?
Sleep Bruxism is the technical term for grinding and clenching teeth during sleep that abrades teeth and may cause facial pain. It is a very common condition and may be a habitual nightly occurrence or manifest due to increased stress or anxiety. Prolonged bruxing can result in a number of serious problems and without treatment can irreversibly damage the structure and surface enamel of your teeth. Moderate to severe sleep bruxism if left untreated can result in jaw pain known as TMJ pain, headaches, damaged and loose teeth and gum recession.
