Do You Grind and Clench Your Teeth?
Do you notice that most mornings when you wake up, your jaw or facial muscles feel sore? If you notice that your teeth look worn down or short, too, you’re probably grinding and clenching your teeth (bruxism). What many patients don’t realize is that bruxism is often a sign that there is disharmony between their jaw joints, teeth, and facial muscles. When one area is off, it can throw other areas off balance, too. For this reason, many of the patients who come to Bela Family Dentistry with bruxism also have issues with their temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
