YouTube Clip of the Week: “Headche In The Morning?”
If you have chronic morning headache, you might want to check this out. Granted, this YouTube video is basically an advertisement from the dental industry, (it’s even put up by Yaletown Laser Centre) but if your moring headaches or jaw pain is a bit mysterious, then a quick check of your teeth could see whether bruxism is the culprit.
About Bruxism
Bruxism is the fancy name for grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep. You can also clench or grind your teeth without being aware of it throughout your day. You might clench your jaw during the drive to work, at work or other stressful situations. As a child, I used to grind my teeth when I slept. I learned I did because, when my brother and I were forced to sleep in the same room, he would helpfully inform me of this with “STOP THAT!!!” bellowed into my ear.
If you sleep alone and don’t have a helpful informant and your teeth have the problems listed in this video, then perhaps you do grind your teeth in your sleep.
