Visiting a general dentist regularly is crucial for your oral health. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common condition that affects many people. Signs of bruxism include worn, chipped, or cracked teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and disturbed sleep. Many people grind their teeth during sleep and are unaware of it. The dentist can detect signs of grinding during a routine exam. A custom-fitted night guard is the most common treatment. Stress reduction techniques and physical therapy may also help. In severe cases, dental restorations may be needed to repair the damage caused by years of grinding.
