While some people may use aromatherapy as their form of health resources for dealing with stress, there are others who simply let their stress build. But what they dont realize is that they may be taking out their aggression in their sleep.
According to a new study published in Head & Face Medicine, people who are stressed by problems in their daily lives or constantly having trouble at work may be more likely to grind their teeth at night.
The unconscious grinding of ones teeth, which is otherwise known as Sleep Buxism, is extremely common with people who are trying to escape the problems of their daily lives. While this may be viewed as a de-stresser, its not healthy for a humans teeth.
“Bruxing can lead to abrasive tooth wear, looseness and sensitivity of teeth, and growth and pain in the muscles responsible for chewing. Its causes are still relatively unknown, but stress has been implicated,” explained lead researcher Maria Giraki.
For individuals who are prone to sleep bruxism, taking such as calcium may boost the strength of teeth.
