Has anyone else developed a tooth clenching problem from the growing in of wisdom teeth?
Question by NeverLetGo: Has anyone else developed a tooth clenching problem from the growing in of wisdom teeth?
After I got my bottom wisdom teeth removed, and before I got my top two removed, I believe I have been clenching my teeth off and on at night. I don’t have excessive jaw pain or unexplained headaches during the day, nothing to indicate that I have a TMJ disorder. Just a general feeling of tightness and bizarre dreams of my jaw locking and what not once in a while. Any ideas?
BTW, I had my top two wisdom teeth removed in February

wisdom tooth removal & teeth clenching is not related.
teeth clenching at night(usually) is called as bruxism.
it can be treated be habit breaking appliance to be used at night.
