Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) – Symptoms & Causes

8 Causes of Bruxism

Stress

Stress is one of the main triggers of bruxism in many cases. Mental emotions such as anger or frustration can also affect some parts of your brain and cause this condition. The reason might be because tension or stressful events would make you experience many other health issues that lead to teeth grinding. For instance, many people might find it more difficult to fall asleep at night when they have a tight deadline or a busy schedule. This results in increased risks of having bruxism. For this reason, it is important to relieve stress and have fun in your daily life. [5]
