Multiple dentists have reported an increase in teeth grinding among younger patients, though the precise prevalence remains unclear. Teeth grinding, or bruxism, occurs during sleep or while awake and can result in wear to tooth enamel and jaw pain if left untreated. Treatment options range from custom mouthguards to behavioral interventions, depending on the underlying cause.
