Teeth Grinding: The Implications and Reasons You Do It

If you grind your teeth in your sleep, also known as bruxism, you will be all too familiar with the aching jaw and headaches first thing in the morning, as well as the feeling of having had a disturbed sleep. In more serious cases, you may have also noticed your teeth have worn down or become damaged and sensitive.  

Bruxism can also wake your partner up, meaning restless nights for both of you, and quite possibly late night moving to the spare room or the couch, which let’s face it, isn’t healthy in any way.

Often, teeth grinding can be a sign of stress or anxiety and most people don’t realise they’re doing it. It can happen during waking hours, when concentrating but more commonly during sleep.
