There are products you can buy that can solve the problem
artificially – meaning that they force your teeth to stop grinding at night.
However, when you have this problem,
it’s almost always a result of a psychological imbalance that causes you to
subconsciously clench and grind your teeth while sleeping.
The mechanics of it is simple. We tend to strain our upper
back, shoulders, neck and jaw whenever we are stressed. So, in most cases, grinding
teeth is a direct result of being stressed and angry and trying to repress
those feelings. If you have a hard time at the Lakewood Dental office, your spouse left you, or
you are forced into situations where you have to constantly control your anger
when you feel like yelling at someone for breaching your personal space, it can
be easy to feel bad. The physical consequences of these problems will turn into
stress that is felt in the shoulder and upper back area, as well as your jaws.
To counteract such problems at the level where they are
created – meaning, at a psychological level – you have to go deep and
manipulate your subconscious. That means practices such as meditation, yoga, or
TTT and EFT tapping techniques will work wonders to influence your mind to drop
the excessive stress and repressed feelings.
You can then relax and sleep easy, while your jaw will no
longer clench during the night, and you will feel soothed as your teeth will no
longer hurt or feel sensitive.
