  1. Teeth Grinding Cause and Ways to Stop Grinding Your Teeth “ Why Do People Grind Their Teeth? ” Like many medical issues, there is no single answer to this question. Some may grind their teeth during times of stress, anxiety, or even anger. Grinding often occurs during sleep, and this unconscious grinding can be very harmful over time. Often teeth grinding while asleep is caused by an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth. Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea can also worsen the condition. Possible Cause of Teeth Grinding Stress, anxiety, smoking, heavy alcohol, caffeine, depression and sleep disorders are all possible causes of teeth grinding

  2. Why Is Teeth Grinding Harmful? In some cases, excessive teeth grinding can result in a fracturing, loosening, or loss of teeth. The excessive grinding may wear teeth down to stumps. After happening of these events, bridges, crowns, root canals, implants, partial dentures, and even complete dentures may be needed. Ways to Stop Grinding Your Teeth One of the ways to correct grinding is through a mouth guard. Your Toronto dentist dentist can fit you with a mouth guard to protect your teeth during sleep. If stress causes you to grind your teeth, you should talk to your dentist or physician about ways to reduce stress. If an underlying sleep disorder is causing your bruxism, seeking treatment from your physician can eliminate the grinding. You can also avoid or cut back on foods and drinks with caffeine, such as chocolate, sodas and coffee. Alcohol consumption can also contribute to grinding teeth. Avoid alcohol. Grinding tends to intensify after alcohol consumption. Never chew on pencils or pens or anything that is not food.
