Bruxism Bruxism, also known as sleep bruxism, is the grinding of ones teeth, usually during sleep. Bruxism is a common symptom of stress, as well as those experienced with fibromyalgia. This grinding by the individual can cause wear on the teeth through flattening on the front as well as on the top of the tooth. Hollowing out, as well as an appearance of receding gum lines and chipping and micro-abrasion on the softer enamels can appear due to the clenching and grinding. Bruxism usually causes the grinder to produce loud gnashing sounds as well as some that are not as distinct and hardly audible by another person. Usually a dentist will recommend a night-guard device to be used in order to help alleviate most of the effects of bruxism.
