WAYS TO TREAT BRUXISM (TEETh GRINDING )

                          Bruxism is the involuntary action of grinding and clencing your teeth   either while awake or while asleep.if left untreated,bruxism can lead to dental attrition,wear away the enamel,and causes jaw pain ,headaces,and tooth loss.



         TREATMENT FOR BRUXISM:

                                                1.MAKE LIFESTYLE CHANGES        

                                                          Bruxism can be a side effect of using certain substances ,such as tobacco,alcohol,caffeine,and anxiety and depression medications.cutting down or limiting the use of these substances may help you stop grinding your teeth.

                                                     


                                                2.STRESS AND ANXIETY MANAGEMENT

                                                      Nearly 70 percent of bruxism cases are a cause of stress and anxiety. relaxation tecniques,such as meditation,talking to therapist,and an exercise routine can help relieve negative emotions that cause your teeth to grind.

                                          


                                                 3. JAW EXERCISES AND MASSAGE

                                                       jaw exercises such as stretching exercise,massaging the jaw muscles and prevent the jaw from clencing at nigth.

                                             


                                                  4. MOUTH GUARDS AND SPLINTS

                                                       Mouth guardand splints, prescribed by a dentist,creat a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth,preventing further damage to your teeth.its important to note tath although this method prevents wear to your teeth,it may not treat bruxism.

      

                                                    5. MUSCLE RELAXANT   

                                                        Muscle relaxants if  taken before sleep,can help relax your jaw and prevent teeth grinding.

                                               


                                                    6.TREAT ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

                                                         certain medical conditions such as sleep apnea or gastro oesopageal refulx diseases (GERD) can be underlying causes of bruxism. diagnosis and treatment of associated disorders may improve teeth grinding.as with any  health condition , it is important to find the root cause of the problem in order to find an appropriate treatment.
