Stress may be silently damaging your teeth through bruxism (teeth grinding). Many people unknowingly grind or clench their teeth during sleep, leading to worn enamel, jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, and even cracked teeth. In this blog, Dr Deval Mehta™ explains the signs of bruxism, how dentists diagnose it, effective treatment options, and practical ways to protect your smile from long-term damage.

After a root canal, your tooth may be temporarily fragile and sensitive. Eating the wrong foods—like hard, sticky, or very hot and cold items—can cause pain, damage the treated tooth, or delay healing. Knowing what to avoid is just as important as the treatment itself, helping you protect your tooth and ensure a smooth recovery.
