Don't Ignore the Hazards of Teeth Grinding! china-dental Teeth Grinding Guard Protects Your Oral and Sleep Health

Time:2025-07-01
People are in the tooth replacement stage from the age of 6 to 13. During this period, teeth grinding is relatively common as it helps the upper and lower teeth to fit together better. However, for teenagers and adults after the tooth replacement period, frequent teeth grinding is a pathological condition.
 
In the quiet night, the sound of teeth grinding is particularly harsh and obtrusive. It not only seriously disturbs the rest and sleep of roommates but also brings a heavy psychological burden to those suffering from bruxism. If left untreated, bruxism can cause the tooth crowns to become shorter due to excessive wear, leading to a series of oral problems such as dentin hypersensitivity, pulp diseases, and periapical diseases. At the same time, it may also cause soreness or fatigue in the chewing muscles on both sides. Even more seriously, some patients may experience symptoms such as bilateral temporomandibular joint clicking, and in rare cases, the articular disc may perforate.


 
There is still no conclusive theory in the academic community regarding the causes of nocturnal teeth grinding, and there are many different opinions. These include excessive mental and psychological stress, overwork, endocrine disorders, indigestion, intestinal parasites, overexcitement before going to bed, abnormal occlusal relationships, and the habit of chewing on one side.
 
Regardless of the factors that cause nocturnal teeth grinding, we should pay attention to it. Strengthening physical fitness, maintaining an optimistic and relaxed attitude, and reducing mental stress have good preventive and therapeutic effects on intermittent nocturnal teeth grinding.
 
Of course, for cases of persistent nocturnal teeth grinding that have already occurred, it is necessary to focus on whether there are abnormalities in the occlusal relationship. Relevant data shows that most patients with nocturnal bruxism have problems such as occlusal interference, malocclusion, irregular dentition, and bad chewing habits.
 
It can be seen that dental problems are not only related to aesthetics but are also closely related to physical health. It is very necessary to seek the help of professional dentists for orthodontic treatment or dental restoration.
 

In addition, for patients with relatively severe nocturnal teeth grinding, they can go to the stomatology department of the hospital to customize a teeth grinding appliance (dental pad). Wear it on the dental arch before going to bed every night and take it off in the morning to relieve muscle tension. This is currently an effective method widely accepted by doctors and patients to relieve nocturnal teeth grinding.
