Here is the Almeida & Bell Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry guide to treating teeth grinding.
Understand
Most teeth grinding will occur while sleeping. Regular teeth grinding might lead to a sore jaw or headaches in the mornings. While anxiety or stress can be contributors, they are not the only reasons that grinding may appear, as it can also be related to an abnormal bite, missing or crooked teeth.
Visit the Dentist
Bruxism is the medical term for grinding teeth. It can be identified by Drs. Adam Almeida through an oral examination of jaw tenderness and abnormalities in the teeth. Discuss a possible nightguard for teeth grinding.
Get Control
Tooth grinding can result in oral damage and pain. Here at Almeida & Bell Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry we support oral health in many ways. Here are some suggestions that may help:
- Control caffeine or alcohol intake as these may increase tooth grinding.
- Avoid gum and prohibit pen or pencil chewing. This benefits the jaw as it keeps the jaw from clenching repeatedly.
- Allow the jaw to relax, and practice this through calming activities such as meditation.
