What are the long term effects of having bruxism?

Tmj/teeth issues: Bruxism or teeth grinding can cause multiple complications including but not limited to TMJ issues, excesssive wear of teeth and facial pain. Often times, an intra oral splint can be fabricated to relieve these symptoms.

Many bad effects: Bruxism, or grinding of the teeth at night can be devastating to the teeth, muscles, the jaw joints and your overall health. It can wear down the teeth, affecting a domino effect of gum disease, loose teeth, shifting and moving of the teeth, headaches, on and on. It is not something that should be ignored or put off. See a dentist asap to avoid problems later.
