Kicking the Habit of Tooth milling and Clenching (Bruxism)

Although initially tooth grinding and clenching (bruxism) may be brought on by a singular set of circumstances, the real qoute is that tooth grinding and clenching often becomes a subconscious habit. Once that habit is entrenched, it can cause expansive damage. Just one occasion or hard clenching in your sleep can crack a tooth and cost you thousands of dollars. Just as with any habit (such as over-eating, smoking, or nail biting), distinct things help distinct habitancy to kick the habit, but everything that helps habitancy kick a habit has one prominent thing in common. Every formula that helps habitancy kick a habit interrupts the neurological and psychological cycle that makes up the habitual behavior

Dream Interpretation Teeth

Let's take a look at the neurological cycle of tooth grinding. Since habits repeat, we are positively always in the "middle" of the cycle. In this example, we will start at the point in the cycle when you are clenching your teeth. When you are clenching your teeth, there are neurons in your brain firing, sending signals to your jaw muscles and causing them to contract. At the same time, the nerves in your teeth are sensing the clenching and sending signals back to your brain. Part of the presume that tooth grinding and clenching can come to be a habit is that the signals the teeth nerves send back are not interpreted as pain. In fact for many habitancy they are somewhat pleasant signals. Perhaps this is because they are psychologically linked with chewing, and chewing is linked with eating things we like to eat.

There is much more going on in the brain while this clenching than just the receiving of the signals from the tooth nerves and the sending of the signals to the jaw muscles. There are other tactile and internal sensory signals advent in from all over the body. In expanding to tactile and internal sensory signals, there are auditory signals advent in (even if the room is totally quiet, you hear your own breathing), there may be visual signals advent in (if the room is not totally dark), there are taste signals advent in (even if they are un-noticed because they are "just how your mouth tastes at the moment".

The brain processes this complex set of external signals, and generates a bunch more signals internally (from memories, dreams, etc.). If the mix of all this stuff adds up to a pattern which has come to be linked with clenching, your brain continues the cycle by sending out some more signals to your jaw muscles to clench.

Now we can ask the prominent question: what might convert the normal pattern of neural activity enough to have the brain do something distinct than send the jaw muscles a signal to clench? As you might guess from how many distinct types of neural signals are gift in this example, changing any of them can have an effect. So what is best to convert depends on how you happen to be processing all these signals, and which ones your brain activity pattern has given more direct affect over your clenching.

For some people, putting a mouth guard in their mouth (which changes the neuro-sensory signals that come back from the teeth and mouth) makes them clench less. For other people, using that same mouth guard makes them clench more. For some people, changing what mattress they sleep on will alter their tooth grinding and clenching habit. For some people, getting a massage or a chiropractic medicine can have their body feel distinct enough to interrupt or alter tooth grinding and clenching. 

Some habitancy have found that altering what they eat interrupts of alters the number of tooth grinding and clenching they do. Some habitancy presume that this happens only if the someone was allergic to the food that was eliminated, but that has not been proved. Most habitancy have had the palpate of seeing that eating foods they like leaves them in a good state of mind than eating foods they don't like, and state of mind is one of the big inputs into the neurological cycle of any habit, so there may be plentifulness of diet alterations that can affect tooth grinding and clenching without consuming allergies.
