Bruxism causes significant damage to your dental health, including tearing your gum tissue to wearing down your tooth enamel. It would be wise to visit a dentist if you grind your teeth.
Key takeaways:
– People grind their teeth when stressed, anxious, angry or asleep.
– Your teeth can get broken and chipped, therefore expose your roots.
– Grinding your teeth could tear your gums, thus exposing you to gingivitis and root canal problems.
Seek other stress coping mechanisms, wear a mouth guard during sleep and regularly visit the dentist for checkups.
