Recent studies have shown a direct relationship between bruxism and sleep apnoea.
Bruxism is when you grind, gnash or clench your teeth either when awake or asleep. This can lead to you experiencing hypersensitive teeth, tired or tight jaw muscles, headaches, tooth wear and damage to existing crowns and fillings, damage to the inside of your cheeks and even sleep disruption.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to see your Dentist.
