The teeth and gums are a constant source of problems throughout your early life in the city ofLeeds, but you’d like to think that once you have entered adulthood, most of the problems are behind you….if only. Adulthood offers new challenges to your mouth to overcome, although a lot of them creep up on you without you realizing it. One particularly nasty condition that sneaks in through the back door is bruxism, or teeth grinding, and this is very destructive indeed. This is a direct result of the stresses and anger that build up in you during the day and you won’t notice it at first, but you will start to grind your teeth; maybe you can control it during the day, but unless you learn how to unwind and relax when you get home, you’ll be grinding away whilst you sleep. You’ll need to have some form of therapy to stop it, but stop it you must. Over time, constant grinding will do untold damage to your teeth- this can be halted with a gum-shield, but it won’t stop the process of grinding. Your jaws with become damaged, as may your hearing; you may suffer from terrible head aches, and you could do awful damage to you neck, possibly your central nervous system too, and you will suffer from upper back problems too. If you go to your dentist regularly, signs of teeth grinding will be picked up on immediately and if that’s the case, then you should seek professional therapy to stop it from going any further.
