Bruxism is a disorder in which people often clench or grind their teeth as they sleep. It can lead to a variety of dental problems, including tooth degeneration, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. It is caused by stress, tension, and worry, as well as misaligned teeth or jaws. Sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, can also cause bruxism. Indications and symptoms of bruxism include pain in the ear, cheek, or jaw muscles, headaches, sore jaws, toothaches, sensitive teeth, broken, chipped, or worn teeth, and sleep disturbances. To determine if you have bruxism, talk to your dentist about your concerns. Mouthguards are made-to-order appliances that fit over the teeth to prevent clenching and grinding. Reduction of stress, orthodontic therapy, and drugs can be used to treat bruxism. To prevent bruxism, people should reduce their own stress levels and avoid certain foods and beverages. It is important to create healthy sleep habits and get treatment for sleep disorders to reduce the risk of bruxism. Regular dental screenings can help diagnose and treat bruxism early on, and therapy options include mouthguards, breathing exercises, orthodontic treatment, and relaxation techniques. Call Waterloo Dental Centre, a Waterloo Dental Office, to schedule a consultation.
