I actually broke a tooth last month that I have to get a crown for, and they said it was weakened from grinding my teeth when I sleep. I actually broke it eating french fries of all things, but it must have been totally just sitting there ready to break.
Every new dentist I see asks the same thing, "Do you grind your teeth at night"? So they can tell from the wear patterns I guess.
I've been meaning to get a mouth guard for a while, my plan pays for it so might as well get the custom one. Now I regret not doing it.
