Teeth Grinding Questions

Hi lybrate-user,
This problem at this age is very strange, you really need to visit a prosthodontist along with an opg. I suspect you with a TMJ disorder. If cured at this stage, it will help you later in life.

For that dear, you need to consult a dentist face-to-face. Because its a mechanical process.
By that time, you can start using colgate total toothpaste.

All above actions may be observed in some otherwise healthy children.
No treatment needed, just encourage children to be more active physically.

this happens usually due to stress. start some meditation to reduce it. meantime, use a nightguard made by a dentist to prevent the damage to the teeth

Night bruxism can b due to various reasons. A few reasons being excessive stress, hyperactive jaw nerves n muscles, phycological disorder, teeth malocclusion. Get your self evaluated by dentist to know the cause of your prob n get treated accordingly. Meanwhile ask your dentist for night guards which'll prevent undue wearing of your teeth leading to sensitivity n other probs.

Dear lybrate-user,
the swelling in your tooth is due to accumulation of infectious material (pus). Most likely, it will require a root canal treatment. The peice of bone, as told to you by your doctor seems unlikely.

Teeth grinding at night could be due to excessive stress during the day.
You can have a night guard which you can wear while you sleep.

U cannot control this. This habbit is unintentional. But you can prevent your teeth from the harm of grinding.

First of all you are very wrong in your concepts, cleaning or scaling procedure dosent means grinding of teeth, scaler just works on the meachanism of vibration, by which it removes the stains, plaque or calculas deposited on the teeth.& for pyria patients regular scaling & polishing procedure is mandatory, go to a good dentist & get it done. Brush your teeth twice, rinse after meal, regular flossing atleast once daily, use mouthwash for gargles, use gumpaint gummex or stolin & massage your gums...more

Comes out do to many reasons like stress or sleeplessness. So better get dental splints or say teeth guards to wear during sleep. Help in many ways to save your teeth. Must get it.
