Successful Women Have Started Grinding Teeth

Teeth grinding can be frightening since it appears teeth are shattering. Patients with bruxism should see a dentist to address the problem.

Key takeaways:

• An estimated 6 million people in Britain suffer from bruxism, with an increasing number of cases among middle aged women.
• Bruxism may cause migraines, jaw pain, earaches, chipped tooth enamel, and other problems.
• The major cause of bruxism is stress. Everyday stressors such as juggling jobs, family, childcare and ageing parents are predisposing women to teeth grinding.
