How to treat teeth grinding in adults? There are methods to treat teeth grinding

When sleeping, the upper and lower teeth bite and make a sound, which is commonly known as bruxism. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for children to grind their teeth during the period of tooth replacement, but it is a pathological phenomenon for adults to grind their teeth frequently. So how can teeth grinding be treated in adults?

1: Reduce the excitement of the brain, do gymnastics to relax properly before going to bed, avoid taking stimulating drinks (such as coffee, strong tea, etc.), do not smoke, brush your teeth, wash your teeth, keep your mouth clean, and pay attention to improving the sleeping environment, which are helpful to reduce the excitement of the brain.

2: Perform muscle relaxation training under the guidance of an expert to prevent and reduce the occurrence of nocturnal bruxism.

3: Use occlusal pads. Let the patient wear a single-jaw full-dentition flat stable occlusal pad or a pressure-formed soft occlusal pad to reduce wear, protect teeth, and relieve maxillofacial pain.

4: Drug treatment mainly focuses on trying to adjust oral and maxillofacial movement disorders and muscle tension disorders. However, drug treatment needs to be particularly cautious and should only be considered when other treatments are ineffective. Drug treatment should be carried out under the guidance of local hospital experts.

1: One of the manifestations of nervous tension, anxiety, depression, anger and other psychological factors during sleep is teeth grinding. Psychologists have found that teeth grinding is a sleep phenomenon caused by the inability to express anger and hatred, or the inability to express sexual desire. When people try to escape subconscious psychological pressure, they grind their teeth during sleep.

2: Do you have psychological pressure? Do you know how to relieve your stress? If you have psychological pressure, you need to take the initiative to relieve it, otherwise you will feel depressed and can only protest by grinding your teeth at night. In addition, there are some workers who require high concentration, such as designers, writers, drivers, athletes, watchmakers, etc. Because of the long-term nerve tension during daytime work, they will also have the problem of teeth grinding at night. This requires you to know how to arrange work and rest time reasonably, and know how to adjust your life. If you already have the problem of bruxism, you need to pay attention to using your brain less before going to bed at night and avoid strenuous exercise. Otherwise, the excited nerves will send "out of control signals" while you sleep, commanding the facial chewing muscles to move and causing bruxism.

A major reason. Experts warn that side-lying and stomach-lying sleeping positions can also easily cause bruxism. These postures cause uneven pressure on the lower jaw, change the position of the joints, and form interfering contacts between the teeth, resulting in increased tension in the jaw muscles, manifested as clenching or grinding of the teeth.
