Do You Grind Your Teeth While You Sleep?

Thursday, March 13, 2008

Do you grind your teeth while you sleep? Well research is now showing that people who grind there teeth at night may also be experiencing sleep apnea! Oksenberg & Arons at the Sleep Disorders Unit of Loewenstein Hospital-Rehabilitation Center in Israel have shown that obstructive sleep apnea was among the greatest risk factor for tooth sleep grinding, bruxism. The results of this study suggested that when sleep bruxism is related to sleep apnea, the successful treatment of these breathing abnormalities through CPAP or a dental oral device may eliminate bruxism during sleep.
If you think you may be experiencing grinding of your teeth at night or sleep apnea please call us for an appointment to evaluate your symptoms at 561-394-9000 Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
