  1. Bruxism or Night Grinding Presented By Dr. Nandini Nelivigi

  2. Brief Introduction Bruxism is the unnecessary, excessive and unconscious grinding of teeth. It is an oral parafunctional activity. Causes Usually, bruxism may be caused by stress and anxiety. However, things like an altered bite, missing teeth, malaligned teeth or disorders like sleep apnoea may also be the cause.

  3. HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM? 1 Sometimes the clenching of teeth is so loud that the person sleeping next to you can hear it 4 Fracture of teeth 2 The person may wake up to mild headache, soreness in the jaw or muscular fatigue of the jaw 5 Repeated fracture of dental restorations 3 When examined by your dentist, he can see excessive wearing of the teeth 6 Excessive wear of the teeth may also cause sensitivity issues

  4. Treatment: The treatment of Bruxism includes a remedial treatment. If you feel you are stressed at work • Attend some distressing programs • Get into some regular exercise regimen • Drink less of caffeine related drinks like cola, coffee or chocolate • Do not drink alcohol • During the day make a conscious effort not to chew on anything other than food (like biting on a pencil etc.,)

  5. Conclusion • As you  you may be advised to use a night guard. • If there are evident situations like altered bite with premature contacts in any of the teeth you may be advised to go in for orthodontic correction of the bite. • One cannot regenerate the lost enamel but at least these changes will help protect the enamel and prevent its further deterioration. consult a dentist,
