Myths and Facts About Cavities Clenching and Grinding May Lead to Cavities Fact. Clenching and grinding is one of the most destructive things you can do to your teeth. With normal chewing, teeth touch for mere milliseconds, suffering very little stress. But clenching and grinding puts tremendous pressure on your teeth for extended periods. That strain can eventually cause damage and cracks and fractures of your teeth. If those fractures expose the weaker dentin, tooth decay can form at a faster rate. Typically grinding and clenching lead to the need for crowns to restore the fractured tooth or root canal therapy to treat the traumatized nerve. Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Cavities and Decay: - Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes to remove sugars and food particles from your teeth. - Floss and use a mouth rinse once a day to clean the spaces between your teeth. - See your Dentist regularly for exam and cleanings. dentistry.ie 01-676-1464
