The Daily Express (UK) (6/4, Nuttall) reported that Dr. Bhavika Parekh from Smile n Shine highlighted the increasing incidence of bruxism, a stress-related condition causing worn-down teeth, cracked enamel, and aching jaws. This involuntary grinding or clenching, often occurring during sleep, is being observed more in both adults and children, particularly during stressful periods like exam seasons. Dr. Parekh noted that stress levels can be identified through dental assessments before patients recognize the symptoms themselves. Early intervention, such as custom-fitted night guards or jaw Botox, is recommended to prevent long-term damage.
