TEETH BRUXISM TREATMENT

What is Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)?

Patients cannot easily realize that they have a teeth grinding disorder, even if they clench their teeth during the day. Usually, the people they sleep with at night do not realize that they are grinding their teeth unless they tell them. For this reason, bruxism disease should come to mind when one or more of the following symptoms are present.

  • Clicking sound coming from the joint area when opening the mouth
  • Feeling of pain when opening the mouth in the morning
  • Widespread pain in the back and neck
  • Wear on the upper surfaces of the teeth
  • Asymmetric changes visible on the face
  • Ear pain, especially felt while eating
  • Wear on teeth

What is the most important reason for teeth grinding?

Today, just like many diseases, the most important reason for involuntary teeth grinding at night or during the day is stress. Under intense stress, chewing muscles cannot relax and contract constantly, applying serious force to the jaw joint and teeth.

In addition, habits such as lip and pencil biting and nail biting occur under stress and damage the jaw joint.

What other situations other than teeth clenching damage the jaw joint?

  • Continuous unilateral chewing in case of long-term toothlessness
  • Veneers and fillings whose closure is not adjusted properly
  • Habit of constantly chewing gum
  • Lying face down while sleeping
  • Traumatic dental procedures that leave the mouth open for long periods of time
  • psychological problems
  • Benign or malignant tumors seen in the jaw joint

What is the treatment for teeth clenching or grinding?

First of all, it is necessary to eliminate the reason that causes the habit of teeth grinding. Stress should be avoided as much as possible and professional support should be sought when necessary. To eliminate the patient’s complaints and pain, night plate (joint splint), painkillers, muscle relaxants, physical therapy movements and botox applications are recommended.

I went for my tooth that had been aching for a long time and I was very pleased. You can feel that doctors love their job. First of all, your dental x-ray is taken and the general condition is evaluated. Very detailed information is provided regarding the procedures to be performed. Doctor Emre and his staff provide very friendly service.
