You’re Making Noise With Your Smile
If you’re making noise when you grind your teeth, you might not hear it. However, your friend, spouse, relative, or coworker may suddenly pipe up and ask what’s going on. Take this as your sign to head straight to our practice for a bruxism disorder diagnosis and treatment.
You Notice A Tongue Border Change
When it looks like the outer edge of your tongue is no longer smooth but that it dips in and flares back out, this may be a sign that you’ve been clenching.
Your Cheek Feels Chewed
Does your cheek feel somewhat chewed up but you don’t remember biting it on accident (which you always remember because it hurts quite badly!)? If so, it may be a symptom of bruxism disorder.
Your Teeth, Jaws, Head, Ears, and Face Hurt
The pressure and friction of grinding and clenching associated with bruxism disorder will lead you toward pain in your smile and the area surrounding it. The discomfort can cause jaw pain, facial pain, headaches, earaches, and jaw aches.
Your Teeth Look Worn
Small fractures and eroded dental tissue often show up as obvious physical symptoms of bruxism disorder. Prevention is possible with treatment.
