Grinding & Clenching (Bruxism)
How stress and unconscious habits can affect your teeth — and how we can help protect your smile with compassion, not judgment.
You’re Not Alone
Many people grind or clench their teeth, often without realizing it. Stress, sleep patterns, or even certain medications can contribute. If you’ve noticed jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, we can help — no judgment, just solutions.
Signs of Teeth Grinding & Clenching
- Worn or Flattened Teeth: Grinding can wear down enamel over time.
- Jaw Pain & Headaches: Clenching puts extra strain on jaw muscles.
- Cracks or Chips: Excessive force can fracture teeth.
- Tooth Sensitivity: Worn enamel may cause hot/cold discomfort.
- Sleep Disturbances: Nighttime grinding may affect quality rest.
