Question:

Does any one know, anything about bruxer(grinding of teeth or clamping of Jaws) while sleeping in most cases?

i have woken up twice now with a pain in my jaws and the only thing i could relate the pain to was if i'd held my jaw clumped shut for ages. Does anyone out there know what this means or what might be causing me to do this.


Answers:

well night grinding or bruxism is a codition where patients grind teeth while sleeping and there are various causes for it to develop as mental stress ,occlusal stress due to some over or high filling or some illfitting prosthesis or restoration and sometimes while orthodontic treatment,anxiety,fear are the usual causes it leads to loss or wearing of tooth structure leading to sensitivity and temporomandibular joint disorders like discitis etc
you should avoid stress and do certain relaxation exercises or can even take help of psychologists to relieve stress and consult your dentist to get yourself a habit breaker or mouth guard or correction of the restoration or prosthesis.
