Brazilians made more than 1 million searches related to bruxism on Google between July 2025 and July 2026, according to a survey by Dental Speed, a distributor of dental products. The number places the topic among the biggest concerns about oral and physical health in the country.
The dentist surgeon Dr. Andréa Melo, master's and doctorate, a reference in bruxism, sleep, and quality of life, stated that the search peak is the reflection of a real and measurable phenomenon: a stressed, hyperconnected population that sleeps poorly.
The study also mapped the interest by state. The Federal District leads the ranking, followed by Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, which recorded 145.9 thousand searches in the period. Completing the top 10 are Espírito Santo, Ceará, Paraná, Minas Gerais, and Goiás, with the Southeast concentrating the most states among the top positions.
Since the survey considers the search volume proportionally to the population, the presence of Southeast states at the top suggests that the phenomenon is related to factors such as the accelerated lifestyle pace and stress levels in the region.
