Photo CreditGrinding the teeth is not only just an annoying habit for some people it can also produce damaging results to the teeth. Many who grind their teeth are completely unaware of it, but there are various ways to tell if an individual grinds their teeth while they sleep. If a person wakes up with their teeth in a clenching motion, they may have been grinding their teeth during the night. Grinding the teeth can also lead to painful headaches as well as muscle strain, especially in the head and facial area. Many who are affected by teeth grinding while asleep have taken to using small mouth guards that protect the teeth from the grinding motion. These mouth guards are reasonably easy to find and can even be custom-made by a dentist.
