Teeth Grinding and Dental Health
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a common habit but many people ignore it and the possible damage it can cause. Grinding the teeth exerts huge pressure which has been estimated to be up to ten times more powerful than that exerted when chewing food. This pressure can cause:
– Damage to tooth enamel
– Fractured and chipped teeth
– Inflamed and damaged gums
Grinding your teeth may seem unimportant but “the cumulative effects can cause serious damage” and it is advisable to discuss the issue with your dentist. Further information about the damage caused by bruxism can be found at http://yourdentalhealthresource.com/how-does-teeth-grinding-impact-your-oral-health/.
