💨 Abstract

The article discusses the prevalence of bruxism, a condition characterized by teeth grinding and jaw clenching, affecting 8-10% of the UK population. This habit can lead to dental issues, headaches, and muscle pain. Stress, anxiety, and modern lifestyle factors, such as social media pressure and work-related stress, are significant contributors. Post-pandemic, cases have increased significantly. Solutions include dental night guards, retainers, and Botox injections to relax jaw muscles.
