Frequently Asked Question

What are the symptoms of bruxism?

The symptoms of bruxism can vary but commonly include jaw pain or soreness, headaches, earaches, and worn or damaged teeth. You might also experience increased tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold foods and drinks, and notice that your teeth look flattened or chipped. Some people with bruxism may also have tight or fatigued jaw muscles, difficulty opening and closing their mouths, or even indentations on the sides of their tongues from clenching. These symptoms are often more noticeable in the morning after waking up.
