Bruxism is a condition in which a person grinds or clenches their teeth, most often during sleep. Over time, this can wear down teeth, crack enamel, cause jaw pain, headaches, and increase tooth sensitivity. Many people only become aware of bruxism after a dental exam reveals tooth damage or jaw discomfort.
