There is a need for a solution to stop grinding teeth. This is an annoying habit that occurs for most people at night while they are sleeping. After waking up, they may have a headache, pain in the jaw, ear pain, neck stiffness, and more importantly, have some damage to their teeth. They are a few choices to make to find a solution to this problem, before too much damage is done.
The best thing to do first, would be to visit the dentist. He will check to see if there are any high spots in your teeth that need filed down. These teeth are preventing a normal, comfortable alignment in your mouth. He also may have you wear a night mouthpiece to prevent damage to the teeth. Holding a warm, damp cloth on the face a few minutes before bed will calm jaw muscles to help stop grinding teeth. Reducing stress could also help. It’s best to just relax before bedtime. Sress can cause a lot of problems, and grinding the teeth could be just one of them. A more drastic solutions being tried on teeth grinding, is using botox. However, there have been too many side effects using this form of cure.
Another word for teeth grinding is bruxism. Once again, the dentist has the best solution for your individual problem. If the grinding is caused by stress, and the stress becomes more bothersome, he may recommend you to a psychiatrist, besides providing you with a mouthpiece. If the dentist sees serious jaw problems, he could refer you to a doctor to help with that. After all the other causes are eliminated, then dentist could decide his best method of action.
