For dentists, there is a particular responsibility to help patients understand the stress induced habit of nightly teeth grinding<\/a>, and the negative effects it can have on your dental health. Untreated teeth grinding<\/a> can result in the fracturing, loosening, or complete loss of your natural teeth. Bruxism<\/a> not only damages teeth and causes tooth loss, but can also affect your jaw joints, resulting in hearing problems and TMJ disorder<\/a>, or even changes to your facial features. Don\u2019t let stress induced bruxism<\/a> rob you of your oral and overall health. Make an appointment<\/a> with Dr. Latner<\/a> at Westside Dental Associates<\/a> for a custom nightguard<\/a> to alleviate your stress induced bruxism<\/a> symptoms today. Dr. Latner<\/a> delivers patient centered care daily throughout West LA, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills, Marina Del Rey, Rancho Park, Mar Vista<\/a>, and the surrounding communities.\r\n

What Is Stress Induced Bruxism<\/a>?<\/h2>\r\nBruxism<\/a> is a chronic condition in which you unconsciously grind, gnash, or clench your teeth. The grinding can occur while you\u2019re awake or asleep. If you clench or grind your teeth during sleep, you are likely to have other sleep disorders as well, such as sleep apnea. Mild bruxism<\/a> may not require treatment, however, bruxism can be frequent and severe enough to lead to jaw disorders, headaches, damaged teeth, and other health problems in some patients.\r\n

Do You Suffer From Stressed Induced Bruxism<\/a>?<\/h2>\r\nWhile the exact cause of bruxism<\/a> is not completely known; daily stress can trigger the condition in many patients. It\u2019s estimated that almost 70% of bruxism is stress or anxiety induced<\/a>. Whether or not bruxism causes pain and other problems may be a complicated mix of factors including poor posture, stress coping abilities, diet, and sleeping habits.\r\n

West LA Stress Induced Bruxism Treatment Appointments<\/a><\/h2>\r\nIf you suffer from stress induced bruxism<\/a>, Dr. Latner can create a custom fitted nightguard<\/a> or bite splint<\/a> to prevent bruxism<\/a> related tooth damage and alleviate pressure<\/a> on your jaw joints and facial muscles during sleep.
