What is Bruxism?
Have you been waking up with headaches or a sore jaw? Has your partner mentioned you grinding your teeth in your sleep? These are just some of the side effects of bruxism that we encounter regularly.
Bruxism involves excessive clenching or grinding of the teeth, often during sleep. This can lead to significant wear and tear on your teeth, potentially causing permanent damage to both your teeth and jaw joints. Left untreated, bruxism can harm dental restorations like fillings, loosen teeth, damage the temporomandibular joints, and even crack or fracture teeth.

Why Bruxism TreatmentIs Necessary
Treating bruxism is crucial to maintaining your overall dental health and well-being. Left unmanaged, bruxism can lead to severe consequences, such as worn-down teeth, cracked or fractured teeth, and damage to dental restorations like fillings and crowns. It can also cause jaw pain, headaches, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
By addressing bruxism early, you can prevent these issues, ensuring your teeth and jaw stay healthy. Treatment options, like custom-fitted mouth guards, can protect your teeth from further damage and alleviate discomfort.

What causes BruxismAnd how do you know if you’re doing it?
Bruxism is caused by a combination of physical and psychological factors, including stress, anxiety and tension, as well as sleep apnoea, abnormal bite, and/or crooked and missing teeth. Night bruxism or teeth grinding in your sleep in particular, is a sleep disorder that may be related to sleep apnoea.
Teeth grinding and clenching can occur during the day or at night when asleep. People who grind or clench their teeth may not even be aware that they are doing it in their sleep.
Common signs and symptoms of bruxism
- Headaches, jaw joint and/or ear pain
- Aching teeth, particularly when waking up
- Aching or stiffness of jaw and face muscles after waking up
- Aching or stiffness in the jaw when eating or chewing, particularly during breakfast
- Clenching the jaw when angry, anxious or concentrating

You may have noticed the sound of your child grinding their teeth at some point, more so when they are asleep. However, because children’s teeth and jaws are constantly changing and growing so quickly, it’s usually not a damaging habit that requires treatment.
Regular dental checkups every 6 months is the best management of teeth grinding in children and helps prevent future risks and dental health issues.
