According to Santa Clarita-based dentist Sean Kutlay, DDS, up to 30% of adults are affected by the condition, with more and more young people reporting clenching or grinding during the day and at night. But how do you know if you&#8217;re doing it? Here are six side effects of bruxism to look out for:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Headaches<\/h3>\n<p>Waking up with a headache could be a sign of bruxism. Kutlay recommends having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dentists-say-nighttime-teeth-grinding-the-leading-cause-of-tooth-loss\/\" title=\"Nighttime teeth grinding is the main reason for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bad-breath-this-could-be-the-reason\/\" title=\"Bad Breath? This Could Be the Reason\">tooth loss<\/a>, according to dentists.&#8221;>custom night guard made<\/a> by your dentist to wear while you sleep to alleviate headaches and other side effects.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Jaw Pain<\/h3>\n<p>Unexplained jaw pain is another indicator that you might be grinding your teeth at night. Bruxism can cause chipping and wear on the teeth, leading to premature aging of the smile.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Toothache<\/h3>\n<p>Grinding can cause tooth damage, leading to gaps along the gumline called abfractions, which create more sensitive teeth. A properly fitted night guard can help prevent further damage.<\/p>\n<h3>4. TMJ Syndrome<\/h3>\n<p>Putting pressure on your teeth can cause TMJ Syndrome, which can inhibit the range of motion in your jaw and prevent you from fully opening your mouth. If you hear crunches, pops, and clicks when you move your jaw, it&#8217;s time to see a dentist.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Tooth Loss<\/h3>\n<p>Bruxism is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Long-term, people can crack and break fillings, crowns, implants, and even their own natural healthy teeth. Injecting Botox into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/was-it-worth-it-reflections-from-a-disposable-hero-of-the-war-in-afghanistan\/\" title=\"Was It Worth It? Reflections From A \u2018Disposable Hero\u2019 Of The War In Afghanistan\">jaw muscles<\/a> can help reduce grinding and clenching.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Anxiety<\/h3>\n<p>Isolating sources of stress and anxiety and trying to eliminate those triggers during the day can help stop grinding. A calming routine before bed can also help.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let bruxism damage your teeth. Protect your pearly whites by wearing a night guard and taking steps to ease anxiety.
