Can bruxism cause red inflamed gums in front and lower incisors gums?

Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

It shouldn't. Bruxism can cause TMJ pain and pain on your teeth, but not inflamed gingiva. As I have answered to you before, see your local dentist. If it has been more than six months since a professional cleaning, now is the time.
