The Negative Effects Of Grinding/Clenching Your Teeth

Do you grind/clench your teeth? Even if you don’t notice yourself typically doing this, many people actually grind their teeth while sleeping. It may sound harmless, but it can have a detrimental impact on your teeth. Also known as bruxism, grinding and clenching can even cause you to have jaw pains, headaches, and several other oral issues.

The Negative Effects Of Grinding/Clenching Your Teeth

Listed below are some of the negative effects that you may experience when you grind/clench your teeth:

-It can cause headaches, ear aches, or tooth aches. By clenching your jaw, it can stress out your jaw joints, leading to jaw pain.

-Grinding can cause you to fracture or chip your teeth. If this occurs, consult a reputable dentist to get your teeth properly treated and repaired.

-Your grinding may even disturb the sleep of others sleeping within your vicinity. A night guard can effectively prevent you from making noisy grinding sounds in your sleep.

A good dentist can assist you in creating a night guard that can prevent these problems. Dentistry On 7 is proud to offer this service and is located in the Unionville area of Markham.
