There is no one-size-fits-all solution for bruxism, but there are ways to manage the condition and reduce its symptoms. With the help of an experienced dentist, you can keep your teeth healthy and avoid long-term damage.

Common Dental Problems that Bruxism Treatment Can Address
Teeth Sensitivity
In bruxism, when teeth come into forceful contact with each other, it can wear down the enamel and make the teeth more sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. Bruxism also leads to gum recession, exposing the roots of the teeth and making them more sensitive. Bruxism treatment in the form of mouthguards can help protect the teeth from grinding at night. With proper treatment, it is possible to reduce or eliminate the tooth sensitivity caused by bruxism.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Bruxism Treatment
Is teeth grinding dangerous?
Teeth grinding or bruxism is a condition that affects many people. While it may not seem like a big deal, teeth grinding can cause long-term damage to your teeth and mouth. When you grind your teeth, you put extra pressure on them, which can wear down the enamel and eventually lead to tooth sensitivity or tooth decay.
Additionally, bruxism can cause jaw pain, headaches, and even TMJ disorder. If you think you may be grinding your teeth, you must talk to your dentist. They can help you find ways to relieve the stress that may be causing you to grind your teeth and prevent further damage.
What are the indicators of bruxism?
Bruxism is a condition that affects many people. While it may not seem serious, bruxism can lead to several dental problems. Here are some indicators of bruxism.
- flattened teeth
- fractured or chipped teeth
- loose teeth
- worn down enamel
- tooth sensitivity
- tight jaw muscles that may lead to a locked jaw
- headache and earache
Can bruxism be stopped?
Many people are unaware that they grind their teeth until they experience pain or other symptoms. While bruxism can’t be stopped completely, some treatments can help reduce the frequency and severity of episodes.
In some cases, a nightguard or splint can be worn to protect the teeth from damage. Stress-management techniques may be recommended in other cases to help reduce bruxism episodes.
If you think you may be grinding your teeth, it’s important to see a dentist so that an appropriate treatment plan can be developed. With proper treatment, you can manage the symptoms and keep your teeth healthy.
What should I expect after bruxism treatment?
After bruxism treatment, patients can expect their teeth to feel less sensitive and to have reduced muscle soreness in their jaw. Many patients with stress-management techniques as treatment also find their overall stress levels are reduced, which can lead to fewer bruxism episodes.
In addition, patients may notice an improvement in their ability to chew and swallow food. While bruxism treatment cannot eliminate the condition, it can help patients manage their symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life.
Will my health fund cover the cost of bruxism treatment?
The coverage of bruxism treatment depends on the type of treatment and the specific health fund. In general, however, most health funds will offer some coverage for bruxism treatment. This coverage may be limited or only cover a portion of the overall cost.
Patients should check with their health funds to determine what kind of coverage is available. Treating bruxism can be expensive, but with proper insurance coverage, the cost can be much more manageable.
