Bruxism is when something causes you to clench and grind your teeth. This can have severe repercussions on your teeth, by wearing and grinding them down as well as causing pain and disorders in your jaw as well as headaches. It is when bruxism, or teeth grinding occurs while you are you are sleeping, that most damage occurs. Bruxism is one of the leading causes of teeth loss and gum recession. Bruxism also causes sleep disorders and it can be uncomfortable wearing a mouth guard to protect your teeth while you are sleeping.

If your bruxism is causing jaw pain, headaches, wearing down of teeth, it may be that an unconscious anxiety is causing you to grind your teeth, and you have no conscious control of this. With the use of analytical hypnotherapy, we can get to the reason why the unconscious anxiety is manifesting itself and resulting in bruxism. Once this has been determined, the anxiety will be resolved and the bruxism or teeth grinding will stop.

If you would like to know more about how hypnotherapy and hypnosis can assist you in overcoming bruxism, I offer a free initial consultation where I can explain this as well as answer any questions that you may have.
