Diagnosing and Treating Stress-Related Bruxism in the Age of Covid-19 Learn how bruxism relates to the TMJ and the musculoskeletal system, and treatment options from surgical intervention to the many types of Orthodontic devices available.

The incidence of stress-related bruxism (separate from TMJ pathology) is on the rise nation-wide. According to the ADA, 95% of people will experience bruxism at some time in their life.

The first step in the dental practice is to organize to routinely screen for “silent sufferers”. The prophylaxis cleaning / exam is a first, best-practices opportunity for the dentist and/or hygienist to look for the 13 most common clinically diagnostic clues:

Wearing and flattening of the teeth
Tooth fracture
Gumline notching/abfraction
Alveolar bone loss
Root canal treatment with no caries
Resorption
Generalized tooth sensitivity
Toothache when no other dental cause is evident
Extremely tight cheek muscles
Jaw pain
Crepitus or cracking during opening
Head, shoulder or neck pain
Difficulty opening or staying open
If several of these are present, or NOT, routinely ask each patient if they have been experiencing “jaw pain” particularly upon waking, or are they aware of clenching/grinding.

GrindRelief PRO packaging provides reception/treatment room pamphlets and wall placards to help “raise the question” and identify these patients. Early diagnosis and immediate treatment at a reasonable fee benefit the patient and your practice.

Very often patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) also suffer from nighttime bruxism; regular patient health histories may reveal these patients to you.
