What is Bruxism?
Teeth grinding, aka Bruxism, is the unconscious grinding of the teeth together which individuals can experience in;
1. At rest - during quiet mindless activities, or even when asleep
2. Or in stressful situations- eg when angry, anxious, sad, or even excited.
Bruxism wears down the external tooth structure over time, and may give rise to complications such as;
• Teeth sensitivity from exposed dentinal tubules
• Uneven or rough teeth surfaces, causing ineffective chewing
• Noise disturbances, especially to partners or people who are in close proximity to the bruxer
• Poor aesthetics, as the compromised teeth structure often looks aesthetically unappealing.
If you are struggling to manage this condition, or know someone who is, do visit us @ 1394 Upper Gage Ave #4, Hamilton, ON L8W 1E7. OR book an appointment on our website yourareadental.com for consultation today.
