Spokane, Washington Mar 23, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Many people unknowingly grind or clench their teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to excessive tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and even earaches. At Hymas Family Dental, Dr. Chet Hymas and his team provide custom-fitted night guards to protect teeth and ensure a good night’s sleep. But beyond dental appliances, the team believes in a holistic approach that addresses the root cause—stress.
Managing Bruxism with a Stress-Free Lifestyle
Since bruxism is often linked to stress and anxiety, Hymas Family Dental goes beyond just offering night guards. The team educates patients on practical ways to reduce stress and promote better oral health, including:
✅ Practice Relaxation Techniques – Simple exercises like deep breathing, meditation, and yoga help lower stress levels and prevent teeth grinding.
✅ Follow a Consistent Sleep Routine – A well-rested mind is less likely to engage in unconscious clenching.
✅ Reduce Caffeine and Alcohol Intake – These can trigger muscle tension, worsening bruxism symptoms.
✅ Jaw Exercises and Massage – Gentle stretching and massage help relax the jaw and relieve tension.
✅ Use a Warm Compress – Applying heat to the jaw area can soothe sore muscles.
✅ Seek Professional Help for Anxiety – Counseling, mindfulness techniques, or relaxation apps can provide long-term relief.
By offering preventive education and personalized treatment, Dr. Hymas ensures that patients receive comprehensive care that goes beyond just treating symptoms.
