Bruxism And Tinnitus Professional And Physical

Adult sufferers have exhibited the greatest occurrences when stressed in areas of personal, professional and physical aspects of life.

Neuromuscular dentistry acknowledges the multi-facted musculoskeletal occlusal signs and symptoms that relates to postural problems involving the lower jaw and cervical region.

Neuromuscular dentistry recognizes the need to solve the root of the misalignment problem(s) by understanding the relationships of the tissues which include the muscles, teeth, temporomandibular joints, and nerves.

In short, neuromuscular dentistry and technology add objective data and understanding to previous mechanical models of occlusion.

Symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) are claimed to include.

Basically, bruxism, is a common affliction that approximately 10 to 50 of the adult population suffers from.

Bruxism is the basic grinding of the upper set of teeth against the lower set of teeth.

One of the painful results of bruxism, is awaking to tender muscles in the facial area.

This set of sore muscles is responsible for chewing food throughout the day.

As a result of bruxism, this same set of muscles is overworked during the nighttime hours.

While pain begins in this muscle area, often it formulates into headache pain, jaw pain or earaches during the day.

Another painful result of bruxism is the cosmetic damaged caused by nightly teeth grinding.

Here, the teeth are grounded down over a period of time at uneven levels across the jaw line.

The end result is an unbalance in the mouth that impairs regular eating and tooth brushing maintenance.

The common complaint of teeth sensitivity is a direct result of this.

A dental problem known as Temporomandibular Joint Damage (TMJ) occurs when the joint between the upper and lower jaws is impaired.

Constant grinding of the jaw bones wears this joint out over time resulting in TMJ.

We treat bruxism, by the placement of a plastic mouth guard in a persons mouth.

It prevents the upper and lower jaws from clenching together.

Further damage to the teeth is spared as the mouth guard bears the brunt of nightly grinding.

Additionally, the dentist will demonstrate to a person the proper placement of the tongue and teeth before sleep.

This will attempt to alleviate the bruxism.But stress, poor nutritional diet, facial trauma, allergies and problems with the nervous system are all factors believed to precede the onset of bruxism.
