The reason may be psychological! ..
Tooth grinding and squeezing is one of the most common cases encountered by dentists. The difficulty of everyday life and the stress of social status can lead to unintended tooth squeezing and grind.
The suppression of emotions and difficulty in self-expression can manifest as tooth squeezing and grind. This situation, which we are not aware of, is manifested by the deterioration of the tooth structure, tooth and jaw pain.
Going to a dentist will prevent problems that may develop due to tooth squeezing. Otherwise, problems such as wear on teeth, loss of enamel layer, shortening of tooth sizes and yellowing of tooth await you on the horizon.
May make head, neck and back pain
The change in tooth size distorts the balance of the chin joint and the jaw joints and causes damage to the jaw joints.
Damage to the jaw joint causes pain in the head, neck, neck and shoulders. The jaw creates noticeable sounds in the opening and closing movements. Even in advanced cases the difficulty of opening and closing causes pain and pressure sensations.
Treatment of teeth squeezing and tooth grinding
After the diagnosis of the problem by the dentist, the patient’s treatment planning is done by considering the damage size and the patient’s complaints.
In cases where the joint is not damaged, night plaques are recommended for the individual to use. Plaques mounted on the teeth act as a shock absorber to distribute unbalanced pressures during spin. This prevents abrasions and joint damage that may occur in the teeth.
Psychological help is part of the treatment
Psychological help is also recommended to investigate the underlying cause of clenching behavior during treatment.
Muscle relaxants and painkillers are added to the treatment process of damaged joints as a result of tooth extraction. In addition, physical therapy is one of the most frequently used treatment options. Injections and surgical interventions may be required during the treatment period of the severely damaged jaw joint.
Unwanted conditions such as shrinkage, shortening, fracture and discoloration due to tooth shrinkage are treated with aesthetic coatings. High concentration fluoride gels are applied to the teeth to reduce the sensitivity of teeth and tooth enamel enamel work is done.
