Bruxism or teeth grinding is one of those conditions in the mouth that can remain completely un-noticed until a lot of damage has been done and in a hustling bustling place like the city of Leeds, which places a lot of demands on you on a daily basis, tooth grinding thrives due to stress.
It can also become a dangerous condition as well over a sustained period, damaging your teeth and causing serious conditions around the head and even the upper back. One of the main problems is that you may not even know you are suffering from it, especially if you live alone, until a few symptoms start to set in like clicking jaws, headaches, earaches and tinnitus and a sore neck and back.
If you keep up with regular dental check-ups, your dentist should spot the fact that you are wearing your teeth down and offer a gum-shield to protect the teeth. The real problem, however, is more complex and requires you to undergo some therapy in order to identify your daily problems and then set up a plan in order to help you relax more in your daily routine and to unwind before you go to sleep.
A mouthguard coupled with therapy could very well save you from serious damage to your jaws, protect your nervous system from damage to your vertebrae, and back problems, from which there is only one cure- complex surgery.
