Pain in jaw muscles may arise from burixing


The Academic Member of the Faculty of Dentistry of the Istanbul Gelisim University, Dr. Dentist Ayfer Atamer, who indicated that the stress is one of the most important factors of the burixism, said that there has been an increase in the grinding or clenching of the teeth above normal level at the pandemic period.


If you feel pain in your jaw muscle or have headache when you wake up in the morning, it may be possible that you are experiencing a problem of grinding or clenching of the teeth, to put it another way, a burixism. The pandemic that restricts us in various numbers of fields especially in recent years also increased the stress in our daily life. The Academic Member of the Faculty of Dentistry of the Istanbul Gelisim University, Dr. Dentist Ayfer Atamer, who indicated that the stress is one of the most important factors of Burixism, further added that there has been increase in the grinding or clenching of the teeth beyond normal level during the pandemic period.

There are various numbers of reasons of the bruxism that occur with the grinding or clenching of the teeth especially during the state of sleeping. This movement of jaw developing involuntarily during the state of sleeping may develop as a result of and subject to various causes ranging from the stress that may have been experienced by the individual within the day up to physiological and even further alcohol, smoking and use of medicine.

IF AT LEAST 3 OF THE FOREGOING ARE AVAILABLE, YOU MAY HAVE CAUGHT THE BRUXISM! 

The restriction in opening mouth and pain and sounds of clicking being felt in the frontal part of ears cause various numbers of negative effects together with the jaw muscle discomforts, brought forth by the Bruxism, such as anxiety, stress, depression, poor sleeping and fall in the quality of oral and dental health as well. The Academic Member of the Faculty of Dentistry of the Istanbul Gelisim University, Dr. Dentist Ayfer Atamer, who indicated that the treatment process was applied in the clenching of the teeth through an interdisciplinary professional team consisting of dentists and physiotherapists, said: “Since the burixism generally occurs during the sleeping times, it may take time from the point of view of patients to be aware of this matter. However, it is definitely necessary for those of patients, who may notice the following symptoms in themselves, to seek medical help from a specialist physician.”

        The main symptoms ensuring the patients to notice the availability of the burixism are as follows:
  • Feeling of the pain in the jaw muscles in the morning.
  • Feeling of the pain and occurrence of clicking in the frontal parts of the ear.
  • Limitation in mouth openings and feeling of catching onto of the jaw.
  • Occurrence of any change on the facial shape as a result of the rising muscle activity. 
  • Occurrence of headaches and neck pains.
  • Occurrence of dizziness.
  • Occurrence of corrosion and feeling of sensitiveness in teeth.
 
While the treatment of the burixism solves the problems having occurred in the teeth on the one hand, it also helps the determination of the problems causing the clenching of teeth of the patient on the other. As a consequence of this, it is also important to get psychological support, if required, in addition to the treatment of the burixism.
