What causes molars to sleep?

The main reasons for grinding teeth at night are:

Mental factors, such as emotional tension, excitement, fatigue, being frightened, etc., make the excitement or inhibition process of cerebral cortex abnormal, resulting in night molars.

Because of overeating, indigestion and indigestion, toxins secreted by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract stimulate the cerebral cortex after absorption, which makes the excitement and inhibition of the cerebral cortex out of balance and causes night molars.

More people, especially children, cause nocturnal molars, which are caused by intestinal parasites. The activities of intestinal parasites and the toxins secreted by them stimulate the spasm and contraction of the masticatory muscles in the cerebral cortex, causing nocturnal molars.

Severe night molars are dry grinding of upper and lower teeth, which will accelerate tooth wear, cause periodontal tissue damage, masticatory muscle fatigue and temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and should be actively prevented and treated.

● Eliminate nervousness, unnecessary worries, be open-minded and arrange work reasonably. Take a small amount of antipsychotic drugs under the guidance of a doctor when necessary.

● Develop good living habits and rules, don't eat too much for dinner, and don't do strenuous exercise before going to bed.

● Treat intestinal parasites, reduce the stimulation of intestinal wall caused by peristalsis of intestinal parasites, and cause night molars.

● Wear a dental pad. If the above treatment still does not improve, you should go to the dentist and make a night molar appliance, also called dentition jaw pad or tooth pad, which is worn on the dentition at night and removed in the morning. Toothpad can make the upper and lower teeth out of direct contact, reduce tooth wear and periodontal injury and relieve muscle fatigue. At the same time, it changes the signal transmitted by periodontal ligament to the central nervous system and inhibits the activity of night molars. Practice has proved that the frequency and time of grinding teeth at night are obviously reduced after wearing dental pads.
