If you consume them:

- Rinse with water afterward
- Avoid brushing immediately
Small protective behaviors add up over time.

Grinding can weaken enamel and make cavities more likely to progress.
If you wake with jaw soreness or headaches, discussing a night guard with a dental professional may help protect enamel from mechanical wear.
