Frequently Ask Question
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a condition characterized by the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth. It often occurs during sleep but can also happen during waking hours. Bruxism can be caused by variousL factors, including stress, anxiety, misaligned teeth, or an abnormal bite.
Common signs of teeth grinding include waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or facial soreness. You may also experience tooth sensitivity or notice worn-down teeth, chipped enamel, or flattened tooth surfaces. If you suspect you may be grinding your teeth, it’s important to schedule an appointment with our dental team for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Untreated teeth grinding can lead to several oral health issues, including tooth damage, tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Long-term grinding can wear down tooth enamel, increase the risk of tooth fractures, and result in the need for dental restorations or orthodontic treatment. Seeking prompt treatment for teeth grinding can help prevent these complications.
Treatment for teeth grinding varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Our experienced dental professionals at Roper Dental Group can provide customized treatment options, which may include wearing a nightguard or splint to protect your teeth during sleep, stress management techniques, jaw exercises, or orthodontic interventions to correct bite alignment issues.
Yes, stress is a common contributing factor to teeth grinding. Many individuals unconsciously grind their teeth as a response to stress or anxiety. If you suspect that stress may be triggering your teeth grinding, it is important to address the underlying causes of stress and incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine.
