Key takeaways:
– Signs of teeth-grinding include; pain in the jaw and ears that radiates to the head, chipped and cracked teeth and increased sensitivity.
– Pay attention especially at night when bruxism is at its peak and look out for noises similar to a circular jaw.
– Manage bruxism by using other stress-relieving methods.
