Teeth grinding also known as bruxism, refers to the unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth often during sleep. While it may seem harmless, bruxism can have a severe impact on your oral health, leading to tooth damage, tooth fracture, jaw pain, headaches and other problems. Without intervention, it can cause long-term damage to your teeth and jaw.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
