A
new survey shows Canadians are more stressed out about money than work,
family or health and many of us are taking out that stress on our
pearly whites. Of those surveyed, 30-percent reported grinding their
teeth while sleeping.

were grinding their teeth during a dentist appointment while only
14-percent of people caught themselves doing it.
Seven percent of respondents reporting jaw pain and two percent going to see a doctor with headaches before being diagnosed.

resources to infrastructure, repair and maintenance in terms of roadways
