Treatment of Bruxism(teeth grinding)

Bruxism is a habbit which may lead to deformation of teeth and their imperfect appearance.It may be due to a psychological cause or any other.I need opinions of the doctors that if a patient(age=13-15) has temporary teeth grinding habbit,then what should be its treatment?

  • The most common recommendation is mouth guard. But some children do not feel comfortable with mouth guard.

    So, for them try to figure out the problem of stress because the main cause of bruxism is stress. Try to relax your children by giving them warm bath or exercise of jaw. They should have deep and uninterrupted sleep.
