Bruxism, or teeth-grinding, has increased during the pandemic because of stress, anxiety, and more
ne morning around week six of the COVID-19 lockdown, I woke up to discover I’d gnashed a molar-sized crack down the back of my night guard, the device I wear to protect my teeth from the grinding I do in my sleep. I’d worn the acrylic barrier every night for years with minimal erosion, but suddenly I’d gnawed right through it.
Since 2020, dentists and other oral health professionals around the world have recorded a sharp uptick in the number of patients seeking treatment for issues caused by bruxism, a fancy word for grinding and clenching your teeth together with force. While bruxism is fairly common, with pre-pandemic data suggesting thatwere chronic chompers to some degree, some major clinics saw nearly three times as many bruxers as usual when lockdowns began. The increase still hasn’t let up, some experts say.
