You Cannot Stop Grinding Your Teeth? by Dr. Regal

Do you habitually grind, gnash or clench your teeth? If so, you have a physical condition that is clinically identified as Bruxism. This habit, if frequent and long-lived, can lead to a host of problems like: violent headaches, jaw disorders and seriously damaged teeth.

These are the symptoms to be aware of:

Worn down, flattened, chipped or fractured teeth
Increased sensitivity in gums
Pain or tightness in jaw
Facial pain or migraine headaches
Chewed tissue on inside of cheek
Tongue indentations

Possible physical cues or emotional causes include:

Anxiety, Tension or Stress
Suppressed Anger or Frustration
Hyperactive, Aggressive or Competitive Nature
Poor Alignment of Upper to Lower Teeth
Disturbed Sleep and Irregular Sleeping Cycles
Responses to Pain from Earaches or Teething (Young Children)
Growth and Development of Jaw and Teeth (Young Children)
Side Effects from Prescribed Medications, e.g. Antidepressants

Most individuals who are affected by Bruxism are not consciously aware of their condition, and in many cases, a sleeping partner or parent will notice the Bruxism before the person experiencing the problem becomes aware of it. If this affliction is left untreated, you can develop more severe symptoms of extreme jaw pain and intense headaches. And over time, dental remedies will be needed because of your tooth loss and gum recession.

Possibly you have already noticed that your jaw is tense during the daytime and realize that you are rigorously grinding and clenching down on your teeth at night. So how can you put an end to this malefic tendency if you are asleep at the same time you are doing it?

If you are like most victims of Bruxism, then tension is the most common reason for your teeth grinding. And for this specific cause, Hypnosis can oftentimes assist in eliminating this particular harmful habit. Because of the deep relaxation that one typically experiences with Hypnosis, anyone who is inflicted with Bruxism can most likely be relieved from it. In fact, the use of Hypnotism can be used to counter most, if not all, of ones unresolved emotional effects of anxiety and stress.

How can Hypnosis help me stop my teeth grinding?
Teeth grinding occurs because your jaw muscles are repeatedly tensing up. This habit is ingrained and stored deep within your subconscious mind. Because Hypnosis works in this milieu, your Hypnotherapist can help you with Hypnosis to re-educate your brain and to relax your main jaw muscle. This will have the effect of giving you a loosened jaw that is free from restraint during the day and at night. Look forward to sleeping comfortably and relaxed. Learn Hypnosis. You can do this!
