Common clues include jaw tightness, headaches, tooth wear, sensitivity, or comments from a sleep partner. A dental assessment can help confirm whether bruxism is likely.
What is the difference between a night guard and a mouth guard?
A night guard is typically used for clenching or grinding during sleep, while a mouth guard is designed to protect teeth during sports or activity.
Can bruxism damage veneers, crowns, or fillings?
Yes. Unmanaged clenching and grinding can place extra stress on natural teeth and restorations, which is why prevention and protective appliances matter.
