Symptoms of Bruxism
Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) often happens unconsciously, especially during sleep, so many people don’t realize they have it until damage appears. This guide walks through key symptoms.
Complications of Untreated Bruxism
When bruxism goes untreated, the constant grinding and clenching place excessive stress on your teeth, gums, and jaw joints. Over time, this can cause enamel wear, chips and fractures, receding gums, loose or lost teeth, TMJ disorders, and frequent headaches or facial muscle pain—often turning a simple night guard solution into complex, costly restorative dentistry if it is delayed too long.
