Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a subject on which dentists typically receive little or no education in dental school, and a subject on which they typically receive little or no continuing education after dental school. The approach a lot of dentists took to treating bruxism 20 years ago was to permanently grind away part of your teeth to “adjust” your bite, the theory being that if the way your teeth came together changed, your tooth grinding would stop. Although this helped in some patients, it reeked havoc with others, resulting in law suits. While this practice is on its way out, patients be warned, it is still being practiced and can cause irreparable harm. Learn the better alternatives.
