Teeth Grinding
Grinding Your Gears… at Night?
Do you wake up with a sore jaw and a dull headache? You might be unknowingly grinding your teeth at night, a condition called bruxism. Bruxism can cause a range of problems beyond morning discomfort.
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a condition where you grind, gnash, or clench your teeth. It can occur unconsciously while awake (awake bruxism) or during sleep (sleep bruxism).

Causes of Teeth Grinding?
Reasons behind teeth grinding
- Stress and Anxiety: Emotional stress or anxiety is a common trigger, leading to clenching and grinding, especially during sleep.
- Sleep Disorders: Conditions such as sleep apnea can increase the likelihood of bruxism.
- Medication: Certain medications, including some antidepressants, can have side effects that cause teeth grinding.
- Lifestyle Factors: Excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption, especially before bedtime, can contribute to bruxism.
- Misaligned Teeth: Abnormal alignment of upper and lower teeth (malocclusion) can cause grinding.
- Genetics: There may be a genetic predisposition to bruxism, making it more likely if family members also grind their teeth.
