Causes of Teeth Grinding in Adult Women

When we sleep, we may not notice it ourselves, but our friends will remind us that we grind our teeth while sleeping. Everyone's first reaction is not very convincing, because teeth grinding usually occurs during the growth period of childhood. Now we are adults and our bones have stopped growing, so we should not be grinding our teeth. So what is the reason why girls grind their teeth?

Why do girls grind their teeth?

1. There are sparganosis in some people’s bodies. The sparganum will metabolize some harmful substances and affect the self-regulatory nerves. During the day, we have stronger self-awareness and can control our behavior, but after falling asleep, we will grind our teeth involuntarily. After the insects are eradicated, this situation will not occur again.

2. The reason is tension, anxiety and excessive liver fire, which leads to what Chinese medicine calls "internal liver wind movement". The key reason for excessive liver fire is that we usually do not have a good diet, eat too much fried, spicy food and special ingredients, which causes heat and toxins to accumulate in the body. Teeth grinding is a symptom that shows that the body is unbalanced, which will lead to restless sleep, waking during sleep, and even insomnia. The treatment method is to remove heat.

Prevention of Teeth Grinding

1. Keep your lips in a healthy resting state during the day, that is, keep your teeth relaxed, preferably with your mouth closed and your teeth apart.

2. Biting something like an apple or a raw carrot can tire the upper and lower jaws and soothe the lips.

3. Applying heat to the upper and lower jaws can relax the teeth biting muscles and reduce the chance of headaches.

4. You can go to a sporting goods store to buy a mouth guard, which will help prevent teeth grinding at night.

5. Teeth grinding is most related to work pressure, so releasing pressure is an effective method.

6. Reduce the intake of caffeine and specially prepared carbohydrate compounds.

7. Take a warm bath.

8. Be kind to yourself.

9. Learn relaxation techniques, such as meditation or progressive stress release.

The above is an explanation of why girls grind their teeth. I hope it can be helpful to readers. In fact, after we grow up, the human body will be easily irritated, or too much pressure during the day, excessive depression, and can only release the pressure at night, and then gnaw the teeth to vent. Don't worry too much, relax your mind, eat a balanced diet, and get enough sleep, and your condition will improve.
