There is an epidemic of teeth grinding and jaw clenching, and it’s no secret that the stress of the Covid-19 pandemic is a contributing cause. Long term grinding can wear down teeth leading to expensive dental bills. Habitual teeth grinding and clenching can cause aching joints and feel like a blow to the jaw, resulting in difficulty chewing. These teeth grinding and jaw habits can create severe temporomandibular joint problems like TMJ jaw pain, TMJ headaches, ear pain, neck pain and jaw popping, clicking and crackling.
