Bruxism: When stress is reflected in your mouth
We live with the accelerator stepped on. Work, worries, mobiles that do not stop ringing… and without realizing it, all that tension accumulates in our body. One of the most common ways that stress manifests itself is bruxism: clenching or grinding teeth, especially at night.
In our Dental Clinic in Castalla, we see more and more cases of people who arrive with jaw pain, dental wear or even frequent migraines. The common denominator: stress and bruxism.
Bruxism not only affects your teeth, it also damages the temporomandibular joint (ATM), which can cause discomfort when talking, chewing or simply opening your mouth. If it is not treated in time, it can generate more serious problems and affect your quality of life.
In Clínica10, your trusted dentist at Castalla, we treat bruxism from the root.
Our approach combines several effective techniques:
-
Vertical dimension increase: We reconstruct the dental height lost due to wear and tear, returning its functional balance to your mouth. It is a key technique for those who have already suffered visible damage. This new technique has very good results in a very short time.
-
Dump Splints: Custom-made, are used while you sleep to prevent your teeth from squeezing and protecting your teeth. They are comfortable and really make a difference.
-
ATM massage and therapy: We relax the musculature and the mandibular joint with specific manual techniques that reduce pain and release tension.
In addition, if bruxism has caused dental loss, we also have dental implants in Castalla to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile.
The important thing is not to let it go. Bruxism doesn’t go away alone. If you wake up with a headache or jaw, notice your teeth worn or they creak when you close your mouth, come visit us.
At Clínica10, Dental Clinic at Castalla, we are here to help you regain oral and general well-being. Because your mouth also talks about the stress you carry… and we can make you calm again.
Book your appointment! and start living without clenching your teeth.
