@dentalvision3d: 🦷 BRUXISM — YOU MAY BE DOING THIS WITHOUT KNOWING IT 😬 Around 1 in 5 people experience bruxism. That means clenching or grinding your teeth — during sleep or even while you're awake. 🌙 The problem? Many people don’t even realize they’re doing it. ⚠️ Over time, excessive jaw activity can contribute to tooth wear, muscle discomfort and jaw-related symptoms. And no — it’s not simply “because of stress.” Bruxism is multifactorial and can involve different biological, psychological and environmental factors. 🔍 The first step is identifying what type of bruxism is occurring and whether it is causing clinical consequences. 🛡️ Management is individual — from monitoring and behavioral strategies to protective dental approaches when indicated. Your teeth may be silent. Your jaw isn’t. 👀 #Bruxism #Dentistry #DentalHealth #DentalEducation #Dentist
