Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Why You Clench Your Jaw and How to Stop the Pain
Bruxism is a sleep disorder that causes people to unconsciously grind their teeth at night, which can damage their teeth.
It happens in a split second: You take a sip of hot coffee or bite into a cold ice cream, and a sharp, piercing pain shoots through your mouth. If this sounds familiar, you are likely suffering from sensitive teeth (Dentin Hypersensitivity). It is a common issue, but it is not something you have to live with. While the anatomy of a tooth usually provides perfect protection, once that shield is broken, the nerve becomes vulnerable. Here is everything you need to know about the causes, diagnosis, and the best tooth sensitivity relief options available.
Deformations of the teeth and jaw are not isolated cases, but a serious problem. They cause visual impairment and also often favor gingivitis (periodontitis) and tooth decay. Inflammation of the mucous membrane is also possible due to a malposition.
An abscess is the accumulation of pus in a body cavity that is not naturally present. In this case, the pus formed during an inflammatory process penetrates into the surrounding body tissue, where it thus creates its cavity. In the cavity formed by the inflammatory melting of the tissue, the pus accumulates against the adjacent tissue.
Dental accidents happen more often than you might think: especially during leisure time and during sporting activities, it can very quickly lead to tooth injury. All age groups are affected in principle - children, adolescents and active athletes, however, in particular.
Carefree smile and laughter without teeth - unthinkable. Even speaking without teeth is a real challenge for both the speaker and the listener. Last but not least, the food is no longer enjoyable, because a toothless jaw fulfills the chewing function only inadequately.
Tooth decay is the dental most common disease in industrialized countries. The term caries is derived from the Latin term caries and means putrefaction or rottenness. Dental caries (Caries dentium) is an infectious infection that can be transmitted from one person to another.
