Sihaiwang: people are in the period of tooth change from 6 to 13 years old. In order to adapt to the upper and lower teeth running in, there will be tooth grinding. However, it is a kind of morbid condition that teenagers and adults who have passed the period of tooth replacement often suffer from tooth grinding. What is the reason why adults sleep and grind their teeth at night? Let's take a look with Xiaobian.
How is sleeping molars to return a responsibility?
The so-called bruxism refers to the habitual bruxism in sleep or the unconscious bruxism in the daytime. It is a long-term vicious circle disease that increases with time.
What is the lack of sleeping molars
Some children have the habit of picky eating, especially do not like to eat vegetables, forming the unbalanced nutrition, resulting in the lack of calcium, phosphorus, various vitamins and trace elements, causing the involuntary contraction of the facial chewing muscles at night, and the teeth will be grinding back and forth.
How to sleep and grind your teeth
There are many ways to treat bruxism. In clinic, the main purpose is to reduce the damage of molar to the occlusal surface and the symptoms of muscle joint. The principle is to block the cause and reduce the damage.
1. Treatment of reducing brain excitation: rest and relax before sleep, do proper gymnastics, avoid excitable food and smoking, improve sleep environment, etc. are conducive to reducing brain excitation. Mobilize the patients' self-consciousness and self-control psychological role to reduce the occurrence of molars. Very little.
2. Psychotherapy: it does have the effect of mental and psychological factors, which makes the jaw muscle over tension. Eliminate tension, remove unnecessary concerns and arrange work reasonably. Take diazepam tablets orally if necessary, 1-2 times a day, one tablet at a time. There is dependency.
3. Treatment of arousal stimulation in sleep: through biological anti shame, the patient is awakened by sound and other electrical signals when the molar occurs, so as to temporarily stop the molar. Some scholars give temporary electrical stimulation to lips, and the results are effective in controlling bruxism. But this method interferes with the sleep of patients and cohabitants, and the effect is not long-term.
4. Muscle relaxation therapy: over tension of jaw muscle is one of the causes of bruxism. In the treatment, relieving over tension of muscle is the necessary means to control bruxism. The commonly used methods are: the application of muscle relaxant; physical therapy, physiological function training of masticatory muscle; massage; audio visual suggestion, etc. Very little.
5. Intestinal deworming treatment: Ascaris killing treatment, reducing intestinal parasites peristalsis and stimulating intestinal wall. Nocturnal molars caused by Ascaris lumbricoides may occur in childhood, but the incidence of nocturnal molars caused by Ascaris lumbricoides in adolescence and adults is almost nonexistent. Therefore, deworming therapy has no effect on adolescents and adults.
6. Adjustment of occlusal treatment: by grinding a small amount of tooth tissue, removing occlusal interference and early contact of occlusion, the occlusal balance relationship is established, so as to achieve the physiological balance between teeth and jaw, chewing hungry temporomandibular joint and eliminate bruxism. Patients with malocclusion should be treated with orthodontics or restoration. Then take the mushroom bud Pavilion capsule to regulate the nerves and remove the bruxism.
7. Correct the bad habits of dental and maxillofacial system. Such as chewing on one side, chewing pencil, chewing gum, etc.
8. Bite plate treatment: make a dental pad, put it on the jaw before going to bed at night, take it off in the morning, and relieve muscle tension. At present, it is most easy to be accepted by doctors and patients, and it has obvious effect on preventing tooth wear, but it can not treat bruxism.
9. Drug treatment: the main focus is to try to adjust the tooth and maxillofacial movement disorders and muscle tension disorders.
How to prevent molars from sleeping
1. Pay attention to adjust the diet, eat some easy to digest, nutritious food, do not eat too much dinner.
2. For children with bruxism at night, parents should take care to relax their spirits, especially 1-2 hours before going to bed, and do not do some intense activities.
3. If the teeth are not aligned and the occlusion relationship is disordered, correction shall be carried out.
4. If intestinal parasites are found, they should be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
5. If the molars can't be corrected at night, you can go to the stomatology department of the hospital to make a 'plastic tooth pad' called a molar appliance. Wear between upper and lower teeth when sleeping at night to prevent grinding and protect teeth at night.
