Bruxism, the medical term for teeth grinding or jaw clenching, affects an estimated 10-30% of adults. Many experience it during sleep without awareness until symptoms become impossible to ignore. For diplomatic and business professionals facing high-pressure environments, Bruxism often manifests as a physical response to stress.
Common Symptoms of Bruxism
Long-Term Effects When Left Untreated
Without proper Bruxism treatment, the persistent grinding can lead to serious complications that extend beyond dental health:
Excessive grinding wears down enamel, leading to tooth fractures, increased sensitivity, and potential tooth loss requiring extensive restoration.
Chronic jaw clenching can damage the temporomandibular joint, resulting in persistent pain, clicking sounds, and restricted jaw movement.
Chronic pain, sleep disruption,and anxiety about dental health can significantly affect your professional performance and personal wellbeing.
