Bruxism is a fancy way of saying you are Grinding, Clenching, Clacking or Gnawing your teeth.
Bruxism is defined by the American Dental Association as: The parafunctional (other then normal function) grinding of the teeth.
More clearly defined by the Mayo Clinc, Bruxism (BRUK-siz-um) is a condition in which you grind, clack, gnaw or clench your teeth.
Heavy workload or something in your personal life stressing you out?

Reducing your stress load may in fact help relieve some of your bruxing.
Yes, it’s possible to grind your teeth without symptoms.
Children especially.
This happens when a trip to the dentist yields no evidence of worn/cracked teeth.
However, each night you can clearly hear the night time activity emitting from the afflicted sleeper.
