About Bruxism

Bruxism

Bruxism is a dental and medical condition characterized by the habitual grinding, clenching, or gnashing of teeth.
It is a common condition that can occur while a person is awake (awake bruxism) or during sleep (sleep bruxism). Sleep bruxism is often more challenging to control as individuals are not consciously aware of their actions.
Bruxism can have several negative effects on a person’s oral health and overall well-being.
