<br /> How Bad is Grinding My Teeth?<br /> by Christian Goodman</p> <p>Do you wake up with a headache or with a sore jaw? Have you been told that it sounds like you rub your teeth together when you sleep?</p> <p>If this is your experience, you may well be experiencing teeth grinding or Bruxism. Many people grind their teeth on occasion, which may not be problematic.</p> <p>However, a number of people grind their teeth often and do not realize it.</p> <p>Most often, it’s when a person is in pain that he or she starts exploring the reason or looks to temporary remedies to alleviate the headache. For those who have regular check ups, it’s the dentist who actually sees the problem due to the affects teeth grinding has on the teeth. </p> <p>This creates a problem due to the damage grinding has on the teeth. Crowns, bridges and even dentures may be needed due to chronic grinding.</p> <p>It can also lead to TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) in which the jaw gets misaligned. This causes severe pain and can make chewing very difficult.</p> <p>An abnormal bite can be the culprit in which some dentists may prescribe a custom tooth guard or bruxism splint to help protect the teeth.</p> <p>The majority of people however, actually suffer from stress which leads to tooth grinding. I know of at least one client who finds it necessary to use her tooth guard while driving since traffic creates such stress for her.</p> <p>A tooth guard can be a good fix in the short term; however a more appearance pleasing solution is to figure out how to discontinue the grinding altogether.</p> <p>It is possible to fix the problem even if it is occuring when you are not aware of it.</p> <p>Some simple tips that can help during the day are to avoid alcohol and caffeine. Also, avoid chewing gum or any other non food items. When going to sleep, keep your mouth closed but make sure your teeth are not touching.</p> <p>Removing the causes is even better. My TMJ No More program is all natural and has shown amazing results with both TMJ and eliminating tooth grinding.</p> <p>—————————————————–<br /> Christian Goodman is recognized all over the world for his unique solutions to many complicated and even incurable conditions.

<br /> Huh? The Link Between TMJ Disorder and Hearing Loss<br /> by Christian Goodman</p> <p>A couple my wife and I occasionally get to visit with met up with us. The husband had mentioned his wife’s bruxing (teeth grinding) in passing. As the conversation continued, he mentioned that he had even lost sleep due to the rather noisy grinding sound. </p> <p>She had a special buxism splint also known as a bite guard designed for her. It provided good protection for her teeth as the grinding was doing quite a bit of damage. It even helped alleviate some of the headaches she had experienced. It did not however, eliminate the grinding itself. </p> <p>Since she had been grinding her teeth for so long, she eventually also developed TMJ.</p> <p>Many people are negatively impacted by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). It can be very painful and affect their day to day lives. </p> <p>Connecting the mandible (jawbone) to the skull is the temporomandibular joint. </p> <p>Various components also involved in TMJ are teeth, muscles, tendons, nerves, bones, connective tissue, and ligaments. Pain and poor function of any of these areas or multiple areas can be symptomatic of TMJ. </p> <p>There are many different potential causes of TMJ:</p> <p>Chewing gum excessively, teeth grinding, injury, misaligned bite, biting the nails and certain diseases.</p> <p>Other signals that a TMJ problem may be present would be “clicking” or a “pop” sound while eating or even talking. Tinnitus, earaches and experiencing pain around the face are also possible indicators.</p> <p>Loss of hearing can also occur from TMJ. The joint is very near the ear and the inner ear muscles experience pain. This pain causes the muscles to contract.</p> <p>This then causes the ear bones not to move. Because these bones are required to move to hear sound or hear it well, loss of hearing results. </p> <p>As it turned out, my friend also suffered this hearing loss. In fact, her husband confirmed it as he had grown accustomed to repeating himself in a louder voice. </p> <p>Relieving the pain from TMJ can actually help to restore hearing. While some drugs may provide temporary pain relief, again negative side effects can also accompany them.</p> <p>My TMJ No More Program is an all natural and every effective method for alleviating the symptoms and pain of TMJ. </p> <p>———————————————<br /> Christian Goodman is recognized all over the world for his unique solutions to many complicated and even incurable conditions.

<br /> Is There a Connection Between TMJ Disorder and Bell’s Palsy?<br /> by Christian Goodman</p> <p>If you’ve had or seen someone who has Bell’s Palsy, you probably noticed it appears as though a stroke occurred. One side of the face has lost muscle control and/or is paralyzed.</p> <p>Bells Palsy can be identified by the sudden onset of facial paralysis (one side only) or feeling numb, pain or tingling to a side of the face. </p> <p>As stated before, Bell’s Palsy seems to resemble stroke. However, only the face is affected as the facial nerve connects to the skull not the spinal cord. </p> <p>Other causes for the condition must first be ruled out as there is no organic cause known for causing Bells Palsy. Such possible cause such as brain tumor, diabetes, stroke or trauma to the head are normally explored. </p> <p>Some research suggests that Herpes Simplex 1 (cold sore) could cause Bell’s Palsy in over half the cases. This is however a theory at this time. While anti-viral medications may be recommended in these cases, the actual benefits of that treatment are rather controversial.</p> <p>Other treatments include chiropractic and even steriods.</p> <p>When the paralysis only affects the one side of the face partially, the condition will often self correct.</p> <p>More severe cases may go on for weeks or months. Some people have reported suffering with Bell’s Palsy for up to a year. It also creates other potential problems. </p> <p>Corneal damage can happen due to the inability to blink or even close properly with Bell’s Palsy. </p> <p>Interference with a person’s ability to chew or swallow may also be presented if the paralysis is severe. </p> <p>Studies are showing promise for Bell’s Palsy sufferers who obtain TMJ disorder treatments. </p> <p>While the two problems seem somewhat different based on the affected areas (the joint from the jaw connecting to the skull is impacted by TMJ vs. the facial nerves with Bell’s Palsy) TMJ treatments look quite promising in helping those who suffer from Bell’s Palsy.</p> <p>Whether you are experiencing discomfort from TMJ disorder or battling Bell’s Palsy, my all naturl TMJ No More program can help you obtain relief. </p> <p>——————————————————<br /> Christian Goodman is recognized throughout the world for his breakthrough solutions to many complicated and even incurable conditions.
