  1. 7 Steps to Consider to Stop Teeth Grinding

  2. Teeth Grinding • This condition can be triggered by several potential factors, such as stress or an abnormal bite. Snoring and sleep apnea may also be probable causes. • It’s worth noting, however, that the actual causes of teeth grinding or bruxism are still unknown. But, your dentist may be able to help you find a solution. • They can have you undergo a comprehensive exam and afterward customize a treatment plan for you.

  3. Here are some Tips on How You Can Stop Teeth Grinding:

  4. Participate In a Sleep Study • If you’re not sure whether sleep apnea may be the one to blame for your teeth grinding, consider signing up for a sleep study. • Here, your sleep behavior will be monitored by specialists using advanced equipment. • Your doctor will find out if your grinding is your body’s technique to open airways while you’re asleep.

  5. Use Devices Specially Designed to Help Minimize Teeth Grinding • If you’re grinding your teeth due to sleep apnea, your dentist might recommend that you use specific dental appliances to help keep your airways open while you sleep. • There are also devices that help position your tongue while you sleep so it doesn’t obstruct the airway.

  6. Make Changes In Your Lifestyle • Simple changes such as sleeping on your side or reducing alcohol intake may also help ease teeth grinding. • Quitting smoking and reducing weight may also help provide relief from teeth grinding.

  7. Perform Tongue Exercises • Exercising your tongue or joining myofunctional therapy may also help reduce teeth grinding. • Myofunctional therapy involves exercises for facial muscles.

  8. Meditate • If stress and anxiety are causing you to grind your teeth, then taking the time to meditate or exercise may help improve your condition. • Learning how to relax or better manage your response to issues may also contribute to alleviating your symptoms.

  9. Have Your Allergies Treated • If you are experiencing any type of allergy, you might want to see a specialist for it. • Allergies may also make you vulnerable to teeth grinding.

  10. Fix Misaligned Teeth • An improper bite may also be a possible cause of bruxism. • Talk to your dentist on the right solution for your bite problems. • When you correct the alignment of your teeth, you also make dental cleaning easier for you.
