Have you been diagnosed with bruxism, aka, teeth grinding? While grinding your teeth may not appear to be a profound issue, there are several long-term effects that can affect your oral health:
- Bruxism can often cause your gums to become inflamed.
- The chances of chipping or cracking a tooth are increased.
- Pain within the jaw and headaches are other common problems.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is wise to seek the advice of a dentist.
