Tooth grinding or bruxism is a condition when a person grinds
or clenches their teeth. It can happen during the daytime,
but there are some instances that it continues even when
they are sleeping during the night. Because of this, the
teeth will start to chip and wear down causing tooth pain.

that was caused by other medical problems. The
temporomandibular is the joint that connects the mandible
or lower jaw and the temporal bone or the skull.

result, there is an uneven distribution of force that results to
the inflammation of the nerves in the teeth which cause
uncomfortable feeling and pain.

tooth pain especially when it is being adjusted. The pain
could last for a couple of time depending on the
