BRUXISM CAUSES |
|
|
While bruxism is typically associated
with stress, it may also be triggered by abnormal occlusion (the way
the upper and lower teeth fit together), or crooked or missing teeth.
Symptoms of bruxism include: dull headaches; sore and tired facial
muscles; earaches; sensitive teeth; and locking, popping, and
clicking of the jaw.
During a dental examination, a dentist may recognize damage
resulting from bruxism, including: enamel loss from the chewing
surfaces of teeth; flattened tooth surfaces; loosened teeth; and
fractured teeth and fillings. Left untreated, bruxism may lead to
tooth loss and jaw dysfunction. |
