Bruxism Treatment
What is Bruxism? Symptoms and Effective Treatment Methods
Today, many people unconsciously experience the problem of clenching or grinding their teeth (bruxism). This condition, which occurs primarily due to factors such as stress, anxiety, and a busy work schedule, can lead to serious problems such as tooth wear, jaw joint pain, and headaches. At Dehadent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we offer modern and effective solutions for bruxism treatment.
What is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the unconscious clenching or grinding of one's teeth, usually at night while sleeping. In some individuals, this condition can also occur during the day. If left unnoticed, this habit can seriously wear down the jaw muscles and teeth over time.
What are the Symptoms of Teeth Grinding?
- Morning jaw fatigue or pain
- Teeth wear, fractures, or cracks
- Head, neck, and facial pain
- Tinnitus or earache
- Sleep problems
- Clicking noises from the jaw joint
If you experience several of these symptoms, you may be suffering from bruxism.
How is Teeth Clenching Treated at Dehadent?
At Dehadent, we address the causes of teeth grinding, not just the symptoms. The main treatment methods we use in our clinic are:
1. Night Plate (Bruxism Plate) Application
Flexible or rigid night plate custom-made for the patient prevents teeth from grinding against each other throughout the night. They also help relax the jaw muscles.
2. Muscle Relaxant and Supportive Treatments
In some cases, medications that help relax the jaw muscles and physical therapy for the jaw muscles may be recommended.
3. Treatment of Bruxism with Botox
In persistent and severe cases, Botox injections into the jaw muscles prevent excessive contraction, preventing teeth grinding. This method is safely performed by specialist dentists at Dehadent.
4. Stress and Psychological Counseling Referrals
The psychological aspects of teeth grinding are taken into account, and collaboration with a psychological counselor is provided when necessary.
