The video discusses the damage caused by frequent teeth clenching and grinding, which can chip away enamel and lead to extensive dental harm. This habit may also cause tenderness in jaw muscles and potential injury to the jaw joint, causing pain.

To mitigate these issues, your dentist can create an occlusal guard (also called a night guard or bite splint) for you. This protective device can safeguard your teeth, joints, and jaw muscles by reducing harmful biting forces. They are designed for you to easily insert and remove them.
