10 Symptoms of TMJ
Symptom #9: Teeth Grinding
Sometimes when we are ill or have some other complication, our bodies can do things involuntarily that we are not consciously aware of. One of these is grinding teeth, and it can happen without us having any idea we are doing it at all. Teeth grinding is a fairly common symptom among people with TMJ disorder.
Involuntary teeth grinding is known medically as bruxism, and a person will often not realize they are doing it until somebody else tells them. It will often occur when they are sleeping, which would likely mean they don’t know about it directly, although a headache in the morning is a strong indicator they have been grinding their teeth at night.
