Trauma from Occlusion
Trauma
from occlusion occurs when your bite isn’t aligned properly, causing excessive
pressure on certain teeth. This can lead to discomfort, tooth sensitivity, and
even damage if not treated early.
- Crooked teeth or missing teeth can cause an
uneven bite.
- Grinding or clenching your teeth, especially
at night, can stress the teeth and jaw
- Poorly fitted crowns or fillings can change
how your teeth fit together.
- Sudden changes in tooth alignment due to injury
or braces may result in occlusal trauma.

- Worn or chipped teeth

Prevention
Regular dental checkups, wearing a mouthguard if you grind your teeth, and addressing misaligned teeth early can prevent trauma from occlusion.
If you experience tooth sensitivity or discomfort, trauma from occlusion might
be the cause. Visit your dentist for an evaluation and treatment to avoid
further complications.
