The Covid Grind – Blog Series

April 24, 2023

What is The Covid Grind?

There has been a lot of gnashing of teeth during this Covid pandemic. Health, work, political, social, family and economic issues have caused upheavals in all our lives.

These effects on our normal way of life up have caused many of us to grind our teeth. The proper term is bruxism.

This recent phenomenon is becoming a sort of pandemic in the dental world.

The problem with the Covid grind is that affects the teeth, muscles, joints and eventually the psyche. 

The question is what came first; the psyche or the grind?

The answer is more or less, both.

It is really important that you seek assessment and treatment.

Please explore the blog links below to help understand what needs to be done in these often trying times.
