Since 2019 the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused our stress levels to significantly skyrocket, causing an unconscious coping mechanism– teeth grinding! Our dental office alone has noticed an increased need for our custom “at night mouth guards” to protect our patients from painful teeth grinding wear and tear such as: cracked/chipped teeth, tooth root exposure, tooth decay and more. 

How Do I Know if I’m Grinding My Teeth?

We associate teeth grinding with TMJ (Temporomandibular) disorder. Have you been witnessing jaw stiffness? What about intense jaw/temple pain? The most predominant sign of TMJ disorder is if your jaw pops or cracks from unconscious teeth grinding, Even though you may not have tooth pain yet, it’ll start to happen shortly after the symptoms in your jaw start occurring!
