What Is Teeth Grinding?
Teeth grinding involves the involuntary clenching or grinding of teeth, typically during sleep but sometimes during the day as well. While occasional grinding may not cause harm, chronic bruxism can wear down teeth, damage dental restorations, and lead to jaw disorders or headaches.

Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth
Increased tooth sensitivity
Jaw pain or tightness
Headaches, especially in the morning

Facial pain
