Quite often it is your dentist that points it out to you when you go in for your twice yearly check-up as they can see that you are actually wearing down or damaging your teeth as a result. They might offer you a mouth guard to help to prevent the damage but that doesn't help you to stop doing it.
If you wake up in the morning with an aching face, tight jaw or a headache, you are certainly not on your own! It is estimated that around one in 3 people suffer from bruxism or teeth grinding or clenching. You might not do it all the time, only noticing that feeling occasionally, or it might be something you notice you do quite a lot, even during the day.
