Bruxism

                                                                               Bruxism

Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often during sleep. It can lead to worn-down teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep. Common causes include stress, sleep disorders, and misaligned teeth.


Symptoms of Bruxism:

  • Flattened or chipped teeth
  • Jaw pain or stiffness
  • Morning headaches
  • Tooth sensitivity

Treatment Options:

  • Nightguards: Custom-fitted to protect teeth from grinding.
  • Stress Management: Relaxation techniques to reduce clenching.
  • Orthodontic Treatment: Correcting misaligned teeth.
  • Behavioral Therapy: Learning to stop daytime clenching.
  • Medication: Muscle relaxants  for severe case
  •   

To summarize, Bruxism can lead to serious dental problems if left untreated, but with the right diagnosis and treatment plan, you can protect your teeth and improve your overall quality of life. Whether it's stress management, using a custom nightguard, or addressing an underlying sleep disorder, there are effective solutions to minimize the impact of bruxism. If you’re experiencing any symptoms, be sure to consult with your dentist to get the proper care and protection you need for a healthy smile.
