The lowdown on teeth grinding

11th November 2017

blog inner thumb : The Edge dental

You may not give much thought to bruxism (teeth grinding), however, this habit can have more of a negative impact on your oral health than you may realise.

Key takeaways:
– Teeth grinding results in approximately ten times the amount of pressure on your teeth than is normally exerted while chewing food.
– This pressure can lead to teeth that are chipped, fractured or discolored. Worn down tooth enamel can lead to sensitivity or development of cavities.
– Your dentist can advise on the most suitable treatment for bruxism.

“Bruxism should not be taken lightly.”
