The dangers of Teeth Grinding in South East London
30 / 09 / 2013
If there is a terrible condition to avoid in south east London, amongst the many, it is teeth grinding. It is not only the teeth that can be wrecked by this problem; it can put wear and tear on your jaw-joints, cause havoc throughout your head, your neck and nervous system, and then cut down into the upper back. It is a condition caused by excess stress and though you might not notice it creeping up at first, if you carry this stress into the sack at night, the grinding can be at its most potent when you sleep. Fighting the problem isn’t going to be easy either; sure, a mouth-guard will prevent damage being done to your teeth, but the grinding won’t stop and it indicates that you have serious pent-up issues to rid yourself of that build up during the day- and this may require you to sit down with a psychiatrist or someone that deals with stress and anger management in order for you to learn about your issues and learn how to ‘chill-out’ after a hard days work. It may take a while to learn how to adapt to this, but in the long run, it will help protect your teeth and your health in the future.
