Who is at risk for bruxism?

Men and women get bruxism at roughly the same rate. If you have a family history of teeth grinding, you may face a higher risk. Other risk factors include:

• Personality type, as people who are very driven may be more prone to teeth grinding.
• Stress.
• Cigarette smoking and caffeine use.
• Certain anti-anxiety medications.
