Can bruxism damage my teeth?
Yes, bruxism can cause significant damage to your teeth over time. The constant grinding and clenching can wear down the enamel, leading to increased tooth sensitivity, fractures, or chips in the teeth. In severe cases, bruxism can cause teeth to become loose or even lead to tooth loss. The excessive pressure from grinding can also damage dental restorations, such as crowns or fillings, and contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles.
