Bruxism , commonly known as teeth grinding or clenching , is a condition that can cause tooth pain and damage, as well as considerable stress on the facial and jaw muscles.
It affects both children and adults, although the causes are very different for some or others. While in adults they often occur due to tension caused by stress , in children it is common for normal growth reasons.Despite the discomfort it may cause, there are several remedies that can relieve this tension. In this article we are going to focus on natural ones and ignore doctors, such as treatments with neuromodulators, better known as Botox.
Bruxism is the involuntary act of clenching or grinding the teeth , typically while one sleeps, although it can also occur during the day. This action not only affects the teeth, but can also lead to jaw problems and muscle pain.
The causes of bruxism are diverse and vary from one person to another. They can include stress and anxiety, poor dental alignment, or even postural habits .
In children, bruxism may be related to the growth and development of the teeth and jaw. In these cases, we recommend talking to your pediatrician so that he or she can establish the causes that cause it.
Combating bruxism effectively requires a holistic approach.
More natural techniques recommended include dietary adjustments, relaxation exercises, and physical therapy.
However, we want to focus on one of the most effective and least invasive methods, which is therapeutic massage, which helps relax the jaw muscles and reduce accumulated tension.
Plus you can do it yourself!
Massages should focus on the face, neck and shoulders to maximize relaxation of the muscles affected by bruxism. The movements should be gentle and circular , applying moderate pressure to areas such as the cheeks, sides of the jaw, and around the ears .
