Do you have bruxism? Bruxism is a normal, yet potentially serious disorder that is categorized by a distinct grinding of your teeth while unconscious. In most situations, bruxism occurs while the victim is sleeping, making a diagnosis hard to determine by yourself.
Are you showing any signs of bruxism-related dental damage? Facts about bruxism include:
– Several oral health disorders, including sleep apnea, may increase your risk for bruxism.
– If you are recurrently feeling additional muscle soreness in your face or jaw, be sure to check with your dentist as it may be a sign of bruxism.
– Even though it is not guaranteed that you have or will have bruxism, if already suffer from a jaw or pain disorder such as TMJ, you may be at an enhanced risk for bruxism.
– Bruxism is frequently seen with individuals who have dull or flat teeth, muscle soreness in their jaw, various issues with their jaw locking up, and a rise in tooth sensitivity.
