Treatment for teeth grinding in sleep

Sleep grinding is clinically known as bruxism. Treatment mainly includes general treatment, psychological treatment, dental occlusion treatment and so on. 1. General treatment: patients need to correct bad habits, such as partial chewing, betel nut chewing, etc., and avoid smoking and drinking before going to bed. If there are other systemic diseases, other diseases should also be actively treated. 2. Psychological treatment: If teeth grinding is caused by psychological problems, the patient can consult a psychiatrist to alleviate the negative effects of depression, anxiety and other emotions. 3. Dental occlusion treatment: Depending on the situation, patients can also grind a small amount of dental tissue under the guidance of the doctor to establish a balanced occlusal relationship to eliminate the symptoms of teeth grinding, but when the malocclusion is serious, orthodontic treatment is required. As many causes can cause teeth grinding, patients are advised to visit the hospital in time to identify the cause of the disease and then treat the symptoms.
