Grinding wears away your teeth
Your teeth have layers that grinding destroys bit by bit. The outside layer is enamel. It is “the hardest substance in the body.” If you grind through this, it’s a problem. Under your enamel is dentin. Since dentin is considerably weaker than enamel, grinding wears it away even faster.
There’s no way to consciously stop grinding.
Grinding damages multiple teeth
Grinding usually takes a sliding motion that wears down many of your teeth at once.
There's a point of no return when it comes to wearing
At a certain point, the damage gets serious. You’ll need crowns to save your teeth.
There is a solution
Your best defense is a night guard, a custom-molded protector you wear when you sleep.
It’s simple, it’s inexpensive, and it works.
