Changes in our daily routines as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak can be stressful, resulting in dental issues such tooth discomfort, tooth damage, and jaw tightness. Stressful conditions, such as the present health crisis, might worsen the problem if you’ve been informed you grind your teeth or clench your jaw.
TEETH GRINDING SIGNS
Teeth grinding or bruxism can be indicated by a variety of signs and symptoms. The following are a few of the most common:
- In the jaw joints, there is a popping or clicking feeling.
- Muscle tension in the jaw
- Toothache
- Ear ache
- Recurring headaches
- Pain in the neck or shoulders
If you have been grinding your teeth in your sleep, several of these symptoms may surface in the morning. Teeth grinding might occur throughout the day as a result of the coronavirus pandemic’s additional stress. You may notice that your jaw is stiff or tight, indicating that you are clenching these muscles in reaction to the increased stress in your life.
HOW TO GET RID OF STRESS AND PROTECT YOUR TEETH
We can propose some at-home measures for lowering stress and limiting any influence on the health of your teeth and gums if you are experiencing any of the signs of a growing dental condition connected to bruxism.
- Use relaxation practices such as meditation or yoga to help you relax.
- To relax stiff muscles, massage the outside area of the jaw joints.
- On the outside of the cheeks, place a warm, wet towel.
- Inflammation can be reduced by taking over-the-counter pain relievers.
Any of the above-mentioned symptoms should be handled by as soon as possible to avoid further tooth damage or other more complicated issues. We encourage that you to visit dentist as soon as possible so that conservative treatment options can be explored.
