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.

Causes Trauma from Occlusion?

1. Crooked teeth or missing teeth can cause an uneven bite.
2. Grinding or clenching your teeth, especially at night, can stress the teeth and jaw
3. Poorly fitted crowns or fillings can change how your teeth fit together.
4. Sudden changes in tooth alignment due to injury or braces may result in occlusal trauma.

Signs of Occlusal Trauma

• Tooth pain or sensitivity when chewing
• Worn or chipped teeth
• Jaw pain or headaches
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Gum recession

Treatment Options

1. Bite Adjustment.
2. Orthodontic treatment
3. Mouthguard
4. Replacing Missing 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.
