Teeth Grinding Can Wear Out The Enamel And Even Affect The Tooth Support Bone
It Is Also Called Bruxism And Is Caused By Anxiety Or Stress
Teeth grinding, or bruxism is caused by stress, anxiety and even poor alignment. It has serious consequences because it wears the tooth enamel, and usually occurs at night, when we are asleep and not conscious. One of the signs is waking up with a deep headache and a sore jaw. Worn-down enamel exposes the dentin, showing a change in the color of the teeth to orange or yellow. Also, exposed dentin increases teeth sensitivity. Another issue is the risk of cracking the enamel and also affecting the bone that supports the tooth, along with the bone. The jaw muscles and the temporomandibular joint also suffer from the repetitive grinding. Additional details click here.
