Recurrent teeth- and jaw-grinding can result in chronic issues, including earaches, jaw disorders, and chipped teeth, by putting a lot of pressure on the jaw and teeth. A few major causes of teeth grinding include stress, poor sleeping habits, and misaligned teeth. No matter the reason, it must be addressed. Here are some effective natural remedies.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Splint therapy<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first line of protection from teeth grinding is splint therapy. Wearing an individualized dental night guard, bite guard, or occlusal splint is needed. The guard is a physical barrier that helps protect teeth while minimizing symptoms like headache and jaw discomfort. You may get one created specifically for you by your dentist or buy a generic one from a drugstore. In order to make a mouthguard that precisely fits your jaw, your dentist will take an imprint of both your upper and lower teeth. Models purchased in a store are less well-fitted or durable.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Muscle stretching exercises<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercises that stretch the muscles can reduce the pain brought on by teeth grinding and stop it from occurring again. The exercises include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mindful teeth placement: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a space between your upper and lower teeth to prevent clenching or grinding. Perform this exercise continuously, except when you chew.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Jaw exercise: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise your jaw by gently opening it as wide as possible and trying to touch your tongue to your front teeth. Your jaw muscles will relax due to this workout.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Warm compress<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of a warm compress will help ease the muscles while boosting blood flow in the area if you are unintentionally clenching your teeth. Lay down and put a heating pad across one side of your face. After 15 minutes, apply a warm compress on one side and the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Practice yoga and meditation.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bruxism has several mental root causes, including stress, anxiety, and grief. Techniques to minimize stress could improve your entire health.
