Signs Of Bruxism

If you have bruxism, the tips of your teeth are starting to become flat. Your teeth can become extremely worn down. This exposes the interior of the tooth, referred to as dentin. When dentine is exposed, your teeth become highly sensitive. Patients may also suffer inflammation in their TMJ (temporomandibular joint), which could result in cracking or ticking of the jaw.

Other Symptoms Include:

^

Tongue indentations

^
Headache

Earache

Quick Solutions For Bruxism

To get fast relief from bruxism, you can try putting a cold compress around your jaws to ease discomfort and prevent pain. Executing TMJ workouts is a helpful way, too. For individuals who grind their teeth at night, it is important to assess the need for a nightguard or a splint to prevent teeth from wearing on each other and TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). One good alternative includes relaxation and meditation, which also helps one cope with stress and anxiety.
