Bruxism: Teeth grinding can damage teeth, supporting tissues, and jaw joint. Your Dentist has support available for yu including, but not limited to, biofeedback, exercises, medications, etc. If grinding persists your Dentist may want to make a night guard for you to wear. That way you can grind on plastic which is softer than enamel, and therefore dramatically lessens damage to teeth.
