Finding yourself clenching your jaw? You're not alone. Dentists across North America are reporting an increase in bruxism, the medical term for excessive jaw clenching and teeth grinding. Here are some tips that may help relax your jaw muscles: - Cut back on foods and drinks that contain caffeine, such as sodas, chocolate and coffee. - Avoid alcoholic drinks. Grinding intensifies after alcohol consumption. - Avoid chewing gum as it allows your jaw muscles to get more used to ...clenching and makes you more likely to grind your teeth. Most importantly, consider a mouth guard. A customized guard (also known as a splint or night guard) is an effective way of preventing damage to teeth, jaw joints, and the surrounding muscles.

Reminder to replace your toothbrush regularly! Many people forget to replace their toothbrushes, but you must do this every 2-3 months, or more regularly if it starts to look worn or splayed. Remember: if your toothbrush is old or worn out, it won’t clean your teeth effectively and you are putting yourself at higher risk of dental problems down the road.
