Hello,
since childhood I have had a problem with grinding my teeth at night. I would like to know whether the consequences of this can be dangerous for the teeth and what I can do to stop it.
I also frequently develop granulomas. Can grinding contribute to their formation?
Thank you in advance and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam!

Grinding or clenching the teeth is not a negligible disorder and can ultimately lead to serious damage to the dentition. Such damage, of course, does not develop overnight but is the consequence of long-lasting chronic trauma. Given that the condition can lead to damage to the dental pulp, granulomas can of course also be a consequence of it. Grinding is most often treated with individually made dental splints, which can be produced quickly and easily, so do not hesitate to begin treatment.

Have a nice day!
