If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you may be one of millions of people who clench or grind their teeth.
Teeth clenching and grinding is a common issue affecting people of all ages. Research indicates that almost all of us will unknowingly grind or clench our teeth at some point. While the exact cause is unknown, factors such as stress, anxiety, lifestyle habits (like alcohol consumption and smoking), and sleep apnoea contribute to this condition.
While the exact cause of clenching and grinding is unknown, factors that contribute to it include stress, anxiety, lifestyle factors (such as alcohol consumption and smoking) and sleep apnoea.
Headaches and Migraines: The pressure from clamping teeth can trigger headaches and even migraines. This pain can travel from the jaw to other parts of the skull, causing tension-type headaches and sometimes earaches. Often, people don’t connect their headaches or migraines with dental issues.
Sinus Pain: Grinding and clenching can cause sinus or facial pain due to irritation of the sinus lining or bending of the thin bone layers in this area. Many assume their sinus pain is due to an infection when it’s actually caused by the constant pressure on the jawbone.
At Whitestar Dental, we often find that patients are unaware of their teeth grinding habits, especially if it happens during sleep. Our most popular treatment is a custom-made mouthguard—a soft, flexible dental appliance that can significantly reduce the impact of clenching on your dental enamel and jawbone, helping you enjoy a better night’s sleep.
While a mouthguard won’t stop grinding altogether, it will mitigate the harmful effects on your dental and physical health. Further investigations into your sleep patterns, relaxation techniques, and stress reduction can also help reduce grinding and clenching.
Are you tired of waking up with unexplained headaches or persistent facial pain? It’s time to take control of your health and find the root cause.
