A member asked:
How do you know if you clench teeth at night?

Clenching: Sometime one will have headaches or facial pain. The teeth can be sensitive or chip or break. The tongue may be sore. But many times one does not know they are clenching or grinding their teeth during the night. But your dentist can see signs.
