Are you experiencing new symptoms that you’ve never really dealt with before, such as sore teeth? Perhaps you’re experiencing a more severe version of what seemed like a very minor issue, such as uncomfortable jaw joints, pain in your face, uncomfortable chewing, or teeth that are looking increasingly worn. If the signs point to bruxism disorder (which is clenching your teeth together or grinding them) then you really need to do something. “But what?” you might ask. We’re ready to answer that very question!
You Should Give Your Teeth A Break
First, you should give your teeth a break. What we mean is, only use them for what is absolutely necessary as much as you can help it. Don’t chew gum. Don’t eat foods that you typically find are very difficult to chew. Don’t rely on your smile to carry your lunch bag because your hands are full. Don’t chew mindlessly on your pencil as you work. Instead, eat your meals, snack infrequently, and you’ll be helping your smile rest.
