Bruxism

4994225076_0de3680bd8_c

Bruxism is a condition in which you grind your teeth: it can happen, unconsciously, in a waking state or, more often, during sleep.
People who clench or grind their teeth during sleep are more likely to suffer from other sleep disorders, such as snoring and obstructive apnea (pauses in breathing).
Mild bruxism may require no treatment. However, in some people, bruxism can be frequent and severe enough to cause jaw discomfort, headaches, damaged teeth and other problems.

It is a very common condition, but those who suffer from sleep bruxism may not be aware of it until complications develop; therefore, it is important to know its signs and symptoms so that they can then undergo the appropriate treatments.
