How can teeth grinding be treated?

Treating bruxism often involves a two-pronged approach. Firstly, dentists might suggest practical solutions like mouthguards to protect teeth from damage. Secondly, and crucially, the story emphasises finding the 'root cause'. This could involve stress management techniques or, as mentioned, investigating underlying issues like sleep apnoea, which requires specific medical attention.
