Many people are not aware that they suffer from what is known as bruxism, i.e. an unconscious, independent strong clenching and grinding of the teeth. This most often occurs at night, during sleep. It is a symptom of stress in our lives.

Based on the appearance of the teeth (heavily abraded teeth, cracked enamel, broken crowns, gum problems, cavities after fillings, etc.) and a thorough history, a dentist is able to diagnose bruxism. It is very important to start treating this condition. It should not be underestimated; it is necessary to find out what causes it. Remember, our teeth accompany us all our lives!
