Treatment of bruxism in Málaga
Some people produce an involuntary movement of clenching or grinding their teeth, causing them to deteriorate or become more sensitive to cold foods, thus giving rise to bruxism.
There are numerous treatments to correct the serious problem of bruxism, always depending on the severity of the problem.
Bruxism does not exclude children and is known as childhood bruxism. There are two different types: centric bruxism and eccentric bruxism, which can occur both in the morning and at night, especially in children. It is common to clench rather than grind the teeth in daytime bruxism, while in nocturnal bruxism both actions occur, particularly in childhood bruxism. Both physical and psychological causes can be at the origin of this condition. The use of a Michigan night guard can alleviate the symptoms. If your son or daughter experiences these disorders, contact our clinics in Malaga.
In psychological matters, disorders that generate stress and emotional tension are mentioned, such as childhood hyperactivity that can manifest in nervous children and nocturnal bruxism. Regarding physical factors, the eruption of permanent teeth and poor dental alignment are highlighted as triggers of bruxism. In addition, it is noted that intestinal parasites can also contribute to restlessness and teeth grinding in children.
