Could You Be Grinding Your Teeth Unknowingly?

Do you often experience discomfort in your jaw or frequent headaches? Or perhaps you have experienced problems with cracked teeth. If you have noticed any of these problems, you may be suffering from bruxism. Bruxism is the term used to describe a condition where a patient repeatedly clenches and grinds their teeth unconsciously. If not treated in a timely fashion, bruxism can lead to serious oral health complications and the need for additional treatments. Many people who suffer from bruxism are unaware because it occurs during sleep.
