What is Bruxism?

Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of teeth, most commonly during sleep. It can also occur during high-stress periods or while concentrating. Over time, grinding places abnormal pressure on the teeth, TMJ (jaw joints), and facial muscles.

Without treatment, this condition can result in:

  • Cracked or chipped teeth
  • Worn-down enamel
  • Gum recession or loose teeth
  • Jaw muscle fatigue or pain
  • Headaches and facial soreness
  • TMJ disorders and bite misalignment
  • Sleep disturbances

While bruxism may be caused by stress, sleep disorders, or bite misalignment, its long-term effects are the same: cumulative damage that’s preventable with early care.

Do You Wake Up With Any of These?

  • Jaw pain or stiffness in the morning
  • Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth
  • Frequent headaches or facial tension
  • Clicking or locking jaw joints (TMJ issues)
  • Fractured fillings or dental restorations
  • Sensitive teeth with no decay present
  • Poor sleep or tiredness during the day
  • A partner telling you they hear you grinding at night

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, book a consultation with our St Clair dentists to get to the root cause and treatment.
