Nocturnal Teeth Grinding May Suggest a Sleep Disorder
Teeth grinding and teeth clenching are behaviours commonly referred to as bruxism. It is a common problem which leads to damage of enamel, chipped and broken teeth, headaches and even temporomandibular joint disorders.
The causes of teeth grinding are now well known and chief among them are stress and airway blockages during sleep just as occasioned in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS).
According to research, the treatment of obstructive respirations will help manage and eliminate nocturnal bruxism. Recommended treatment for obstructed airways is through CPAP. Teeth grinding should be handled by a sleep specialist to rule out other associated problems.
