Grinding your teeth is bad for so many reasons. It wears down your enamel, altering your bite and increasing sensitivity. The pressure and shifting of grinding can also cause teeth to crack, chip, fracture, or loosen. The negative impacts go beyond your teeth, as grinding can also cause headaches and jaw pain.
