Why People Are Grinding Their Teeth More These Days

Ashley Munzing has been grinding her teeth every night to the point of excruciating pain, and finds herself clenching her teeth during the day. Her husband said it’s so bad, it wakes him out of his sleep. “Every day I feel like somebody punched me in the face,” Ashley said. Dr. Mariya Malin said that her dental practice is one of many across the country reporting an alarming uptick in teeth-grinding, and many patients believe it’s because of increased stress during the pandemic. #InsideEdition

I know this is completely unrelated but I just drank the most perfect orange juice ever

At least her husband sleeps close enough to her to hear the noise of her teeth grinding. That's good news.

The reason for this is simple. People have become way more stressed during this pandemic, and people grind their teeth when they’re stressed.

This video doesn’t even answer the question

Did he really just say: "My wifes grinding is so bad that it would actually wake me up out of a dead sleep"?

I pray anyone seeing this is successful in life

Definitely a sign of stress and anxiety. And with the current decade I don't blame anyone.

Damn I thought she was grinding her teeth by a nail file or something, didn’t know doing that can break your teeth

I am doing the same thing. 🤔 I bought a mouth guard from the athletic store. My jaw and neck hurts. 😱 I have so much happening in my life plus the world is falling apart. 😢🦠

I’ve been grinding and using a mouth guard at night for years now. I don’t do it while I’m awake. Only when I’m sleeping.. and I have warn through my guards.. it’s stress that causes it

"My wifes grinding is so bad that it will actually wake me out of a dead sleep"

They didn't say why though. I've been grinding my teeth since I can remember. But only at night.

When you have a big fat overbite and you can’t grind your teeth 😎

Surprised the "Grinding teeth specialist" isn't here

Grinding through the plastic... the dentists know that will happen, then they charge you for another one.

My mom grinds her teeth so much that she’s getting bone deformations in her jaw that may eventually need to be sawed off during surgery. Not only does grinding damage your teeth and hurt your jaw, it can lead to gross bone deformations 😰

During dreams is when this is the worst. You actually feel like your jaw is gonna just snap and tou cant just open your mouth

I remember as a kid especially coming from an Asian background with all superstitious and ghost beliefs whatnot. My cousin would always tell me that when you're grinding your teeth while sleeping it means that "a ghost or an entity" is watching you sleep. It creeped me out so much.

I’ve been grinding mine for the last year ! Have never done it before
