Do you feel unexplained headaches throughout the day, notice your face tense and achy when you pay attention to it, or catch yourself clenching your teeth without meaning to while you work, study, or use your phone? These, along with other symptoms, may be signs of a problem you didn't even know you had.
What is Daytime Bruxism? Daytime bruxism is the habit of clenching and/or grinding your teeth while we're awake — often without realizing it, whether concentrating on work, studying, using your phone, or during moments of tension and worry. Frequently triggered by anxiety and stress, this seemingly harmless habit can have serious consequences. Tooth wear, dental fractures and restorations, headaches, facial pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, a sensation of a tired or tense face, and even difficulty opening your mouth are just some of the symptoms you may be experiencing.
Imagine feeling a headache for no apparent reason during the day, or noticing your face tense and achy when you finally pay attention to it. Feeling difficulty chewing or opening your mouth normally, or realizing you spend a good part of the day with your teeth clenched without even noticing. These are signs that bruxism is directly impacting your quality of life, and ignoring them can lead to even more serious problems in the future.
