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

Dentist Riaz Yar, a specialist in prosthodontics, treats patients struggling with the effects of severe bruxism – worn, cracked and fractured teeth, and dental work that keeps failing. Many also arrive with chronic jaw or facial pain and report poor sleep, all of which need assessing in their own right, he says, rather than simply being blamed on the grinding.
