Another consequence of bruxism is the progressive loss of the maxillary bone, generating a recession of the gums. Bruxism must be treated to avoid its serious consequences that go beyond just a dental problem.

Fortunately, there are treatments for bruxism and for recession of the gums. We recommend visiting your trusted dentist for an evaluation and proper treatment in case you suffer from this disease.
