• Facial and/or jaw pain

• Ear Aches
• Jaw Stiffness
• Audible Grinding Sound (often noticed by a sleeping partner)
• Worn down, damaged teeth or cracked fillings

If you are experiencing any of the above signs and symptoms, be sure to stop into Abundant Dental, your trusted Utah dental provider. If not treated, bruxism can lead to extensive tooth and jaw damage. Common causes of bruxism include:

• Stress and anxiety
