Many publications list tooth wear as a consequence of bruxism, but some report a lack of a positive relationship between tooth wear and bruxism. [5] Tooth wear caused by tooth-to-tooth contact is termed attrition. This is the most usual type of tooth wear that occurs in bruxism, and affects the occlusal surface (the biting surface) of the teeth.
Signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder vary in their presentation. The symptoms will usually involve more than one of the various components of the masticatory system, muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, bones, connective tissue, or the teeth.

Tooth decay: Tooth decay is one of the most common causes of sensitive teeth. When the enamel on the surface of the tooth is worn away or eroded, the underlying dentin becomes exposed. This can cause sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages. Gum disease: Gum disease can cause sensitive teeth by exposing the roots of the teeth. As ...

In the 15th century, priest-physician Andrew Boorde describes a "deworming technique" for the teeth: "And if it [toothache] do come by worms, make a candle of wax with Henbane seeds and light it and let the perfume of the candle enter into the tooth and gape over a dish of cold water and then you may take the worms out of the water and kill ...
