Secrets to Stop Teeth Grinding Habit by Lowering Stress

Clenching or grinding your teeth occasionally is normal and typically won’t cause damage, but when done regularly, it can harm your teeth and cause other oral health issues. Teeth grinding can have different causes, but often it’s triggered by stress, medical conditions, or crooked or missing teeth.

Grinding typically occurs during sleep, so it can be hard for people to know whether they have bruxism. Signs include a sore jaw or constant headache, and a partner can sometimes hear the grinding. Your dentist can also look for symptoms, like changes or abnormalities in your teeth as well as jaw tenderness.

“ Whether you opt for a major sweat session or just a stroll, working out helps alleviate stress, which is a common cause of bruxism.”

Severe bruxism can lead to loose or broken teeth and can wear them down so much that crowns, implants, root canals, bridges, or dentures may be needed. It can also damage your jaw, lead to hearing loss, and change the shape of your face.

“This was my first initial visit and I can honestly say that the staff is really awesome!! I was recommended, and I can definitely see why.”

“My fiancée recommended this place to me. He was looking for a local dentist and set up an appointment with Reflections online. Unfortunately, they weren’t in his network but they went out of the way to let him know ahead of time and compile a list of other local places in network. I figured if they were that helpful to someone who wouldn’t be using their services, they’d be a good place to go and I wasn’t wrong! Everyone here is super friendly and makes sure every aspect of your visit — from waiting for your appointment to dental procedures to payment — is as comfortable as possible. I’d HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re looking for a dentist!”
