THE SIDE EFFECTS OF STRESS
SYMPTOM: Jaw Pain. CAUSES: Teeth grinding and chronic jaw clenching. "Some 80 percent of adults grind at night," says Steven Butensky, a New York City prosthodontist. TREATMENTS: A nigh guard to prevent back teeth from touching and to reposition the jaw; elimination of hard food and candies (gum included) from your diet; a warm, moist compress to ease discomfort.
