Teeth
grinding, or bruxism, can affect your jaw, cause pain, and even change the
appearance of your face.
"People
who have otherwise healthy teeth and gums can clench so often and so hard that
over time, they wear away their tooth's enamel, causing chipping and
sensitivity," says Halpern.
Stress and
anger can increase nighttime teeth grinding. "Finding ways to alleviate
these feelings can help, but it's also important to see your dentist, who can
recommend solutions like a custom night guard," advises Perle.
