It\u2019s a natural reaction to stress. During the day, you might catch yourself doing it and make a conscious effort to stop, but during the night, you are unaware of it and will naturally grind much harder. Unfortunately, some people in Cypress have such problems with bruxism that they may experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Frequent, painful headaches<\/li><li>Damaged, worn-down teeth and surrounding tissues<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/services\/general-dentistry\/#TMJTMD\">TMJ\/TMD<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dr. Noshir Mehta, chairman of general dentistry at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and director of its Craniofacial Pain Center, the upper and lower teeth come into contact for as much as 40 minutes of each hour. <strong>The force exerted on some teeth, such as the first molars, can be about 250 lbs, as opposed to the 20-40 lbs involved in regular daily chewing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you grind your teeth and have frequent headaches, don\u2019t panic. Bruxism is easily treatable with custom-fit <a href=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/services\/cosmetic-dentistry\/orthodontics\/\">nightguards<\/a>that Dr. Todd will personally fit for your teeth.
