Stress, Grinding, and Your Teeth: What You Need to Know

logo
|

Stress doesn’t just affect your mind—it can impact your teeth, too. Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) often happen during sleep and can lead to worn enamel, jaw pain, and headaches.

Custom night guards can help protect your teeth and relieve discomfort. Addressing grinding is especially important if you’re undergoing Invisalign treatment, as it helps ensure teeth move safely and predictably.

If you’re experiencing jaw soreness or tooth sensitivity, your dentist can help determine the cause and recommend solutions.

Protect your smile from stress-related damage—call 252-888-3210 to schedule an evaluation.
