Bruxism is when you clench (tightly hold your top and bottom teeth together) or grind (slide your teeth back and forth over each other) your teeth.
People can clench and grind without being aware of it during both the day and night, although sleep-related bruxism is often the bigger problem because it is harder to control.
Symptoms include:
•Anxiety, stress, and tension
•Depression
•Earache
•Eating disorders
•Headache
•Insomnia
•Sore or painful jaw
If you suffer from grinding your teeth make an appointment to see Dr. Rippe immediately. Dr. Rippe specializes in evaluating and treating TMJ disorders.
