Can I Reverse the Effects of Tooth Grinding?


Posted on 11/1/2023 by Weo Admin
Close up of a simple mouthguard being held up by a womanDo you find yourself gnashing your teeth involuntarily? Bruxism, or tooth grinding, is a common oral condition characterized by the clenching or grinding of teeth. If the deterioration of your dentition is affecting your self-esteem, this blog is for you! Stay with us as we attempt to answer the query, "Can I reverse the effects of teeth grinding?". While there is no way to regrow a lost tooth, several dental procedures effectively address this issue by modifying the effects of teeth clenching and resolving the issue entirely.

Dental Treatments


If you grind your teeth excessively, consult a dentist to determine the cause. The symptoms of teeth clenching can be managed with dental treatment. A mouth guard is a restorative dental appliance used to treat bruxism. The plastic covering prevents voluntary and involuntary tooth grinding by preventing direct contact.

Teeth crushing causes teeth to fracture and chip into small fragments, creating space between teeth. Dental crowns bridge the gap and cover the missing tooth to prevent further harm. Veneers are custom-made tooth veneers. Depending on the severity of the issue, veneers are utilized to mitigate the effects of tooth clenching.

Stress Management


It is essential to address the underlying causes of teeth clenching. Stress can be a significant contributor. Breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation also reduce teeth clenching. Behavioral therapies can also aid in the management of symptoms.

Changes in Lifestyle


Alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine consumption are common causes of teeth clenching. Changes to one's way of life such as limiting consumption and avoiding substances like these, can aid in restoring overall dental health.

Frequent Dental Exams


Regular dental examinations are a standard and frequently undervalued method of managing oral health issues. Visiting the doctor every month or two aids in the early detection of dental problems and prompt medical intervention in terms of treatment.
