摘　　要：What is bruxism?Bruxism is a constant and forceful habit of gridding or clenching the teeth.Usually teeth should touch each other when chewing and swallowing food,which happens briefly during the day.What are the consequences?Often the excessive force of bruxism results in the destruction of the enamel and dentine of your teeth.Without these protec­tive layers,your teeth may become sensitive,painful and vulnerable to decay.The regular habit of clenching or grinding may lead to pain in the jaw and muscles.
