Those who grit their teeth should search for the cause. A dentist can rule out that organic changes behind it, explains Prof. Henrik Dommisch, Head of the Department of Periodontics and Synoptic Dentistry at the Berlin Charité Universitätsmedizin.
"Mostly psychosomatic problems like stress are the reason," he says. In this case, in addition to the dental treatment with a rail for the night, the patients themselves are in demand.
They can, for example, pay attention to the situations in which they clench their teeth - and try to actively relax. "Different relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation can help," recommends Dommisch.
