Exam season, end-of-year deadlines, a full calendar… it adds up. For some people, it shows up as clenching or grinding, often while they're asleep.
A few signs worth mentioning at your next check-up:
• a tight or tired jaw when you wake up
• morning headaches around the temples
• teeth that look flatter or more worn than they used to
• a partner who hears grinding at night
Grinding can wear teeth down over time, so it's worth checking early. Depending on your assessment, a custom night splint may be an option to help protect your teeth while you sleep.
