Patients can be unaware of sleep bruxism until complications occur. Before this happens, you should understand the signs and symptoms of bruxism which include: • Teeth grinding, gnashing, or clenching • Flattened, fractured, chipped, or loose teeth, or worn tooth enamel • Significant tooth sensitivity or pain • Tight jaw muscles or a locked jaw • Jaw, neck, or facial pain, or pain that feels like it’s an earache • A dull headache around the temples • On the inside of your cheek, marks from chewing it • Disruptions in sleep If you’ve been experiencing any or many of the symptoms above, then you’ll want to speak with a dentist about it. We are specially qualified to help here at Beyond Dental and Implant Center.
