Haha ~ grinding teeth is not a man's right, but also a woman's right. Most molars are nerve reflex caused by various factors. People who have the habit of grinding their teeth at night will chew all night. When they get up the next morning, they will feel sore facial muscles. If you do this for a long time, it will increase the load that the muscles around the mouth, temporomandibular joint and teeth can bear, which will lead to temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Due to excessive wear of tooth enamel, the underlying dentin is exposed, and it is allergic to cold, hot, acid, sweet and other chemicals or hard objects, causing pain; Severe cases can cause pulpitis, occlusal trauma, periodontal tissue damage and so on. In children, bruxism often causes teeth thinning, sensitivity to cold and heat, pulp necrosis, gingival atrophy, facial muscle pain and other symptoms, and people with this symptom can account for nearly 1/3.
Reasons for grinding teeth:
The first is that there are parasites in the body. Parasites secrete some harmful substances, which affect the autonomic nerves. During the day, we are more conscious and can control our behavior, but when we fall asleep, we will grind our teeth unconsciously. It won't happen again after extermination.
The second reason is mental stress and excessive liver fire, which is called "liver wind moving inside" by Chinese medicine. The main reason for excessive liver fire is that we eat too much fried, spicy and refined food in our daily diet, so that heat toxin accumulates in our body. Grinding teeth is a symptom, indicating that the body is out of balance. In the long run, it will make people fidget, awake and even insomnia. The treatment is to clear away heat and fire.
For the second reason, some are attributed to psychological factors:
Many scholars have found that in the pathogenesis of bruxism, oral diseases are not important, and psychological factors often occupy the primary position. They believe that people will grind their teeth in their dreams or sleep when they escape the psychological pressure of the subconscious. Many scholars have observed that grinding teeth is a manifestation of psychological frustration, and it is also evidence that patients must see a psychologist.
Psychologists believe that bruxism is a phenomenon caused by refusing to express anger and hatred, or being unable to express lust. Psychologically speaking, grinding teeth represents a psychological state, especially when you are angry, anxious, resentful, pessimistic and abused. These people's subconscious mental state is a kind of frustration and dissatisfaction. Many scholars' investigation and analysis results also show that bruxism patients are more pessimistic than non-bruxism patients. Some people think that adult molars are a feature of psychological fatigue, so we should pay attention to rest and adjust our mentality. However, adult molars are not taken seriously, which is related to people's misunderstanding of adult bruxism.
Methods of prevention:
Try to relax, especially before going to bed. Take a hot bath or listen to music before going to bed and practice meditation, deep breathing or yoga.
Eat less caffeinated drinks or foods, such as coffee, cola, chocolate and tea.
Keep the right posture. Bending the back can also cause grinding teeth.
Precautions:
1. Keep your oral health at rest during the day, that is, keep your teeth loose, preferably with your lips together and your teeth apart.
2. Biting apples or raw radishes can make the upper and lower jaws tired and make the mouth calm.
3. Hot compress on the upper and lower jaws can relax the occlusal muscles and reduce the chance of headache.
4. You can buy a mouthguard in a sporting goods store, which helps to prevent grinding your teeth at night.
Grinding teeth has the greatest relationship with stress, so relaxing is the best way.
6. Reduce the intake of caffeine and refined carbohydrates.
7. Take a hot bath
8. Be tolerant of yourself
9. Learn relaxation methods, such as meditation or gradual relaxation.
I'll introduce you to several kinds of dietotherapy medicated diets:
1. Wash the orange peel, soak it in white sugar water for 5 days, and eat 1 orange peel every night before going to bed for 3-4 days.
2. Eat a slice of raw orange peel before going to bed every night for 2-3 days, which can cure children and adults from sleeping and grinding their teeth.
3. making tea with reed roots can alleviate it.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is related to stomach heat, indigestion, insect disturbance, deficiency of qi and blood, phlegm turbidity, etc., and should be treated under the guidance of medical advice.

Question 2: Why do young people grind their teeth when they sleep at night? How to treat it? Molar is caused by repeated contraction of masticatory muscles and collision of upper and lower teeth. The contraction of masticatory muscles is controlled by trigeminal nerve. When the trigeminal nerve is excited, it will lead to the contraction of masticatory muscles and the phenomenon of grinding teeth. Bruxism is a phenomenon that people are unconscious when they sleep or wake up under non-physiological functions, which leads to the grinding or clenching of upper and lower teeth. The most serious harm is nocturnal grinding and nocturnal grinding. Because grinding teeth is often accompanied by the sound of "creaking", it is usually also called "grinding teeth". It also happens at night, so it is also called "sleeping grinding teeth". Night molars can be divided into persistent night molars and intermittent night molars, most of which are intermittent night molars. Etiological pathologists from 6 years old to 13 years old are all changing teeth, and there will be molars to adapt to the running-in of upper and lower teeth. When the upper and lower teeth just erupt, the occlusal position of the teeth has not been completely determined, and there will be some discomfort between the teeth, such as unevenness or too sharp new teeth. At this time, the inappropriate part can be ground off by grinding the teeth. Therefore, for children in the period of eruption of primary teeth and replacement of primary and permanent teeth, night grinding is an activity that is establishing a normal chewing relationship and belongs to a normal physiological phenomenon.
However, it is morbid for teenagers and adults who have passed the tooth-changing period to grind their teeth frequently. There are several reasons for this symptom:
First, mental factors, emotional tension is the most common pathogenic factor of bruxism. When fear, anger, conflict, and emotional depression are difficult to vent, these emotions are hidden in the subconscious, and they are periodically expressed by gnashing their teeth. It is observed that bruxism is a common phenomenon among mental patients. When you want to escape from subconscious psychological pressure, you are likely to grind your teeth during sleep. Many scholars' investigation and analysis results also prove that bruxism patients are more pessimistic than non-bruxism patients. Of course, not everyone will gnash their teeth in the above situation. There are also individual differences. Let's just say that when you gnash your teeth, you should look for reasons in this respect.
For example, excessive excitement, tension, anger, nerves tortured by * * * during the day, and sleeping at night make people gnash their teeth. If the child is too excited during the day, or too tired during the day, and too busy and tired before going to bed at night, although most of the cerebral cortex is inhibited after falling asleep, some areas (such as the trigeminal nerve of the pons) will still be excited. This will send a "signal" to command the facial masticatory muscles to contract for a short time. Therefore, people who sleep will show that their jaws will involuntarily move up and down, left and right, and then make a "squeaky" grinding sound.
Second, there are parasites or other reasons in the intestine. At night, when people sleep, parasites creep in the intestinal cavity, causing nerves to suffer some kind of * * *, causing nerve reflex. Ascaris lumbricoides can secrete many toxins, such as neurotoxins, allergic toxins, hemolytic toxins and enzymatic toxins. In addition, some metabolites excreted by worms will continue to sleep in the corresponding parts of the human brain, so that some people's masticatory muscles continue to contract at night, resulting in grinding teeth. But not all patients with parasitic diseases grind their teeth at night. Some people usually eat irregularly, which leads to gastrointestinal diseases, endocrine disorders and bruxism. In addition, some people sometimes eat too much at night, and when they fall asleep, a lot of food accumulates in their intestines, so the gastrointestinal tract has to work overtime. Because of the heavy burden, they will unconsciously grind their teeth when they sleep. Children's nutritional deficiency, blood sugar and calcium concentration, endocrine disorder and allergic reaction may all become the pathogenic factors of bruxism, and some cases are genetic factors. In addition, hyperuricemia, hyperthyroidism, allergy and bladder stress may all be related to bruxism.
Third, abnormal tooth contact, tooth and dentition diseases. Dental caries can not be treated in time, and then pulpitis and periapical periodontitis will occur, causing pain, abscess and even premature loss of deciduous teeth, which will lead to unilateral chewing habits. Long-term unilateral chewing will lead to uneven occlusion, occlusal disorder, resulting in persistent night molars, as well as irregular dentition, such as crowded teeth, crossbite, open occlusion and so on. , will lead to occlusal disharmony, which will cause night molars. If there is premature contact occlusion, patients often try to smooth the high point of this tooth surface. If this phenomenon occurs frequently, bruxism will form over time. Bruxism, due to the long contact time between the upper and lower teeth and the great stress, often leads to excessive wear of the whole mouth teeth, especially the front teeth, causing tooth allergy and pulp disease, or occlusal trauma causing tooth loosening and food impaction. In addition, the type of occlusion, the position of teeth, the loosening of teeth, the movement of mandible, the type of teeth and the restoration are all related to the occurrence of bruxism.

Question 3: What should adults do when they sleep and grind their teeth at night? How to prevent them from grinding their teeth?
Is it sick to grind teeth at night? How to prevent it?
Some people often giggle when they sleep at night, but they don't know when they get up in the morning. Medicine calls this kind of grinding nocturnal bruxism.
Night grinding is a phenomenon, not a disease, just like dreaming and talking in your sleep. Excessive emotional tension or excitement, bad occlusion habits, intestinal parasite infection, etc. , often increase the number of night molars. Severe bruxism will accelerate tooth wear, lead to symptoms of tooth allergy, and even cause periodontal tissue damage, masticatory muscle fatigue and temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
The prevention and treatment of nocturnal molars should start from the etiology in order to get good results.
Eliminate tension
Get rid of unnecessary worries, be open-minded, arrange your work reasonably, and take diazepam orally if necessary, 1-2 times, one tablet each time.
(2) Develop good living habits
Regular daily life, don't eat too much dinner, don't do strenuous exercise before going to bed, especially children should develop the habit of hygiene.
(3) Suspected intestinal parasites
Under the guidance of doctors, deworming treatment can reduce the peristalsis of intestinal parasites.
(4) Correct the bad habits of oral system.
For example, chewing on one side, biting a pencil, wrong? Wait a minute.
(5) The above treatment has not improved.
Should I go to the stomatological hospital for dentition? Pad, put it on the dentition before going to bed at night and take it off in the morning. ? Can pad be eliminated? Interference, relieve muscle tension.
After nightfall, most people have fallen asleep. However, some people (especially children) grind their teeth when they sleep. Because there is no food in the mouth when grinding teeth at night, saliva secretion is correspondingly reduced, and teeth are not lubricated, thus forming a "dry molar" similar to a hollow molar. If you often "dry your teeth", the wear on your teeth will be quite serious. After a long time, the worn teeth will have different degrees of acidity or pain, and sometimes they will form mandibular joint disorder.
Why do people grind their teeth at night?
It turns out that the action of grinding teeth is caused by the continuous contraction of masticatory muscles. Masticatory muscles are managed by the motor branch of the third branch of trigeminal nerve. As for why the exercise club is so excited, why the human body is ordered to contract the masticatory muscles without eating or drinking at night, it is not particularly clear. But from the clinical point of view, we can often see cases of ascariasis and gastrointestinal dysfunction leading to molars.
Ascaris lumbricoides parasitized in human intestines can secrete many toxins, such as neurotoxins, allergic toxins, hemolytic toxins and enzymatic toxins. In addition, some metabolites excreted by worms will continue to sleep in the corresponding parts of the human brain, so that some people's masticatory muscles continue to contract at night, resulting in grinding teeth. Studies have found that if children are too excited during the day, or too tired during the day, and too busy and tired before going to bed at night, although most of the cerebral cortex is in a state of inhibition, some areas (such as trigeminal nerve of pons) will be in an excited state after falling asleep. This will send a "signal" to command the facial masticatory muscles to contract for a short time. Therefore, people who sleep will show that their jaws will involuntarily move up and down, left and right, and then make a "squeaky" grinding sound. The sound of grinding teeth at night is clearly heard by others, but the people who grind their teeth are completely unaware of it.
How to grind your teeth at night?
If the patient has ascariasis, it should be thoroughly deworming. If it is purely caused by mental and psychological factors, adults should combine work and rest, while children should pay attention not to be too excited and tired during the day. If you grind your teeth badly at night, you can take a sedative before going to bed under the guidance of a doctor. For patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction, medication should be taken in time to regulate gastrointestinal function. In short, as long as symptomatic treatment, night grinding can receive ideal therapeutic effect.
Bruxism is a habit of grinding teeth habitually when sleeping or unconsciously when awake. The etiology of night molars is still unclear, and it is considered to be related to many factors such as spirituality, emotionality, odontogenesis, systematicness, professionalism and spontaneity.
1. Mental factors The oral cavity has the function of expressing tension. Patients with fear, anger, hostility, conflict and other emotions, especially anxious patients, try to relieve their inner depression by grinding their teeth for some reason. These patients have frequent contact with teeth for a long time. These psychological factors may be one of the important causes of bruxism. 2. Occlusal factors In neurotic individuals, any occlusion interference may be the trigger of bruxism; The occlusal factors of bruxism patients are mostly the mismatch between median relationship and median occlusion. & gt

Question 5: I grind my teeth every night. What should I do? People grind their teeth after falling asleep, which is medically called "bruxism". Bruxism is common in children, but not uncommon in adults. Many scholars at home and abroad have done a lot of research on the pathogenesis of bruxism, and believe that the pathogenesis of adult molars is more complicated than that of children and adolescents, and its harm cannot be underestimated. Among them, bruxism caused by mental factors is particularly concerned by scholars. Peking University Stomatological Hospital made a comparative study on 80 patients with bruxism 16 ~ 45 years old and 80 people without bruxism. The results show that introversion, depression, especially emotional instability and neuroticism are important factors of bruxism. They believe that people will grind their teeth in their dreams or sleep when they escape the psychological pressure of the subconscious. Occasionally grinding your teeth has little effect on your body, but grinding your teeth for a long time, or grinding your teeth for too long after each sleep, will lead to psychological and physical obstacles. Therefore, adults with bruxism should actively seek medical treatment. After eliminating molars caused by physiological diseases, we should pay attention to whether there are psychological obstacles. If you have psychological disorders, you should adjust yourself or seek treatment from a psychologist.
