Do you or someone you know grind their teeth? Signs and symptoms of bruxism may include: •Teeth grinding or clenching, which may be loud enough to awaken your sleep partner •Teeth that are worn down, flattened, fractured or chipped •Worn tooth enamel, exposing deeper layers of your tooth •Increased tooth sensitivity •Jaw pain or tightness in your jaw muscles •Tired jaw muscles •Earache — because of severe jaw muscle contractions, not a problem with your ear •Headache •Chronic facial pain •Damage from chewing on the inside of your cheek •Indentations on your tongue. You might need to wear a night guard when you sleep to prevent further damage to your teeth. Talk to us about it at your next appointment.
