Are you grinding your teeth while you are sleeping? Or your loved one complaint of your grind teeth sound at night? Or having jaw pain, and headaches after you wake up from sleep?
You are possibly suffering of Bruxism!
Bruxism means grind of teeth, and often it happens as you sleep. Most people probably grind and clench their teeth from time to time. Occasional teeth grinding, does not usually cause harm, but when teeth grinding occurs on a regular basis the teeth can be damaged and other oral health complications can arise.
Why do people grind their teeth?
Teeth grinding can be caused by stress and anxiety, sleep disorders, an abnormal bite or teeth that are missing or crooked.
How do i find out if i grind my teeth?
Most people are unaware that they grind their teeth, because grinding often occurs during sleep. But after you wake up from sleep, if you a dull, constant headache or jaw soreness, teeth that are painful or loose fractured teeth, these are a telltale symptom of bruxism. Many times people learn that they grind their teeth by their loved one who hears the grinding at night.

Remember: If you suspect you may be grinding your teeth, pay a visit to your dentist. Your dentist can examine your mouth and jaw for signs of teeth grinding.
What can i do to Stop from Grinding teeth?
Your dentist will fit in a mouth guard to prevent you from grinding your teeth. In some cases, your dentist or physician may recommend taking a muscle relaxant before bedtime. If stress is the cause, you may need to find a way to relax. Meditation, counseling, exercise and even Yoga can all help reduce stress and anxiety. Train yourself not to clench or grind your teeth. If you notice that you clench or grind during the day, position the tip of your tongue between your teeth. This practice trains your jaw muscles to relax. Relax your jaw muscles at night by holding a warm washcloth against your cheek in front of your earlobe.
What if my child have grinding teeth?
Teeth grinding is also common in children. However, because their teeth and jaws change and grow so quickly it is not usually a damaging habit that requires treatment and most outgrow it by adolescence.
Although in adults teeth grinding is often the result of stress, the same is not always true with children. Other possible causes of teeth grinding in children include:
irritation in the mouth, allergies, misaligned teeth
If you’re concerned about your child’s teeth grinding, ask your child’s dentist about the potential causes and, if necessary, the possible solutions.

在你沉睡时你有磨牙吗？或有人听见你睡时的磨牙声？或当你从睡梦中醒来，有下颌疼痛，头痛？
你可能患有磨牙症的！
什么是磨牙症？
磨牙症是经常会在你的睡眠发生磨牙的病症。大多数人可能有不时磨咬牙齿的情况。偶尔磨牙，通常不会造成伤害，但是当磨一直不断地放生，牙齿就会受到损害，并可能会出现其他的口腔健康并发症。
为什么人们会有磨牙症？
磨牙的症状通常是压力和焦虑症，睡眠障碍，异常咬合，缺失牙齿，或牙齿不整齐引起的。
我如何知道我是否磨我的牙？
大多数人都不知道他们有磨牙的习惯，因为它经常在睡眠时发生。但如果你从睡梦中醒来，你有偏头痛或下巴酸痛，牙齿痛或有牙齿断裂，这些都是磨牙症的症状。很多时候，大家都是由家人或朋友告知下， 才得知他们在夜间睡觉时有磨牙的习惯。
请记住：如果你怀疑你可能患有磨牙齿症，不妨拜访您的牙医。牙医可以为你检查你的嘴里，看看是否有牙齿磨的迹象。
我能做些什么停止磨齿？
您的牙医可以为你配制一个护牙套，以防止你继续磨你的牙齿。但是，这是不能根治您肌肉紧绷的情况。在某些情况下，您的牙医或医生可能会建议你睡前服用肌肉松弛剂。
如果压力是主因，你可能需要找到一个方法来放松身心。打坐，心灵辅导，多做运动，甚至瑜伽都可以帮助您减轻压力和焦虑， 从而减少磨牙的发生。然后您可以训练自己尽量不要咬紧或磨牙齿。如果你发现，你在白天时有咬紧牙关或磨牙，可以将舌尖定位在你的牙齿之间。这种做法可以训练你把下巴的肌肉放松。您也可以在睡觉前，用温热的毛巾放在你的脸颊及耳垂前，并按摩来放松你的下巴肌肉，减少肌肉紧绷，从而减少磨牙的发生。
我的孩子有磨牙症状怎么办？
儿童也有可能有磨牙症。但是，因为他们的牙齿和颚骨会随着年龄改变，所以在迅速成长或发育的情况下，它通常不是一个破坏性的习惯，不像在青春或长大了的孩子般需要治疗。虽然成人磨牙症往往是因为压力的结果，但这通常不会在儿童上发生。儿童磨牙其他可能的原因包括：长牙时牙龈痛痒，口腔过敏，或牙齿不齐。如果你担心你的孩子的摩牙习惯，不妨询问你的牙医有关的潜在原因，如有必要，尽早找到解决方案。
