Bruxism

If you have a fear of dental work

Bruxism is a dental condition where you grind and/or clench your teeth. This can occur when you are awake or asleep. Sleep bruxism is a movement disorder. Sufferers often have other associated disorders such as snoring or sleep apnea (intermittent breathing pauses). Awake bruxism is typically a result of stress and anxiety during work or strenuous mental or physical activity. In its mild form, bruxism may not need treatment. When symptoms develop and are frequent enough, headaches, jaw pain, neck pain and other teeth issues can occur.
