Some dentists say more young people are grinding their teeth - are you one of them?

Here are the signs to look out for: Worn, chipped or flattened teeth Headaches or facial pain in the morning Jaw stiffness Disrupted sleep and daytime tiredness Increased tooth sensitivity Earache or pain near the temples without infection Teeth grinding is also mentioned more frequently in therapy according to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which says people nowadays are more aware of how their mental health impacts their body.

Nearly one in four people are thought to have bruxism Ella can't remember when she first started grinding her teeth at night, but she can vividly recall the excruciating jaw ache, the headaches, and being told her molars were disappearing.

While you can treat the symptoms - by wearing a mouthguard, for example - getting to the source of what's causing your teeth grinding is just as important, says dental sleep specialist, Dr Aditi Desai.
