Introduction
Bruxism in adults
, the medical term for teeth grinding or jaw clenching, affects millions of adults worldwide. While it can occur during the day, it’s most common at night, making it harder to detect until symptoms become noticeable. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, and even long-term oral health complications.
Causes of Bruxism in Adults
Bruxism in adults
doesn’t have one single cause — it’s often the result of multiple factors, such as:
Stress and Anxiety – Emotional tension can trigger jaw clenching.
Sleep Disorders – Conditions like sleep apnea increase the risk.
Bite Misalignment – Uneven teeth or jaw structure may contribute.
Lifestyle Habits – Excess caffeine, alcohol, or tobacco use can worsen symptoms.
Signs and Symptoms
Adults with bruxism may experience:
Flattened or chipped teeth
Increased tooth sensitivity
Sore jaw muscles
Morning headaches
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully
Possible Complications
If bruxism continues untreated, it can lead to serious issues such as:
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders
Tooth fractures or loss
Gum recession
Chronic facial pain
Treatment Options
Managing bruxism involves addressing both symptoms and root causes:
Night Guards – Custom dental devices that protect teeth while sleeping.
Stress Management – Meditation, exercise, or therapy to reduce clenching triggers.
Dental Correction – Adjusting bite alignment when necessary.
Botox Injections – Relaxing overactive jaw muscles in severe cases.
Prevention Tips
Simple lifestyle adjustments can also help:
Limit caffeine and alcohol before bed.
Maintain good sleep hygiene.
Practice jaw relaxation techniques.
Schedule regular dental checkups to catch early signs.
