Bruxism/Grinding
Most people grind and clench their teeth from time to time.
Occasional teeth grinding, medically called bruxism, does not usually cause harm. Still, when teeth grinding occurs regularly, the teeth can be damaged, and other health complications can arise. Grinding often occurs during sleep, and most people are unaware that they grind their teeth. However, a dull, constant headache or sore jaw when you wake up is a symptom of bruxism.
