Are you wondering if your grind you teeth at night? Studies have shown that up to 25% of all people do some teeth grinding at night. Teeth grinding normally only happens at night and most people have no idea that they grind their teeth until there dentist tells them, or if they start to experience pain in the morning
If you feel like you are experiencing bruxism (teeth grinding\clenching) visit your dentist and they can evaluate you further. The first step in preventing teeth grinding damage is to get a professional fitting teeth grinding guard. A night grinding guard is designed to take the force of grinding\clenching instead of having the teeth. The guard protects the teeth and will normally solve most people’s issues. Here is an example of a teeth grinding guard that we provide on our website.

Thanks for nice article. Being a specialist, I would say Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common condition. If you suspect you are grinding your teeth, schedule an appointment with your dentist right now. These all may be signs of bruxism. Getting a diagnosis confirmed can lead to treatment and prevent further damage to your teeth and jaw. Finally, the dentist may suggest reducing or avoiding certain foods or beverages that may predispose you to grinding your teeth. Good sharing.
