THE CAUSE OF TEETH GRINDING
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can stem from various underlying factors. One common cause is stress or anxiety, which can lead to clenching or grinding of the teeth as a subconscious response to tension. Additionally, misaligned teeth or an abnormal bite (malocclusion) can contribute to bruxism by causing irregular contact between the upper and lower teeth, leading to grinding or clenching to alleviate discomfort. Other potential factors include sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, where episodes of interrupted breathing during sleep may trigger teeth grinding as the body attempts to reopen the airway. Lifestyle factors such as excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption, smoking, and recreational drug use may also exacerbate bruxism. By understanding the multifaceted causes behind teeth grinding, we can offer personalized treatments at Blossom Clinic aimed at addressing the underlying factors and preventing further damage to the teeth and jaw.
