Before delving into homeopathic treatment let us first discuss the conventional or allopathic treatment available.

In modern medicine bruxism is treated by placing a removable custom fitted plastic appliance called a night guard between the upper and lower teeth. But the teeth clenching and grinding behavior continues as the root cause is not treated.

Anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs are prescribed to combat grinding of teeth / teeth clenching / bruxism which lead to many side effects.

A muscle relaxant may be prescribed. This may temporarily help ease the spasm in your clenched jaw. If a muscle relaxant doesn’t help, an allopath may inject botulinum toxin (Botox) directly into your jaw muscles to temporarily interfere with muscle contractions associated with bruxism. All these things are associated with many side effects and relieve the problem only temporarily. Continued use of these may cause misuse atrophy of the muscles i.e. the loss of mass and strength
of the muscles.

In contrast, small magical doses of homeopathic medicines can relieve tension and help to soothe the emotional problems causing teeth grinding. The medicines are very useful for patients where there is a history of frustration, suppressed anger which not only causes grinding of teeth but also changes the personality of a patient. Knowing patients have a history of suppressed anger is a laborious job done by a well-qualified homeopathic doctor. A good remedy can change a hyperactive personality type to a normal person. All these major root causes are not cured by allopathic medicines.

Intestinal worms which cause grinding of teeth can effectively be taken care of by proper homeopathic treatment. Properly prescribed medicines not only remove the intestinal worms but also prevent the recurrences of worm infestations as the remedies create a healthy environment for the intestinal flora.

How homeopathy helps:

1.  The treatment helps to reduce symptoms of bruxism like facial pain, earache.
2.  Medicines help reducing stress and help relaxing mind and body.
3.  Remedies help the patient to taper off anti-anxiety or anti-depression drugs gradually.
4.  The treatment removes the bad effects of suppressed anger and frustration as the medicines act holistically treating the patient as a whole.
5.  Medicines help to combat intestinal worms; not only preventing grinding of teeth but also other symptoms of worm infestation like skin rash, loss of appetite.
6.  Remedies improve the blood supply of the muscles of the mouth thus preventing the spasm causing grinding of teeth.

There are 85 medicines which give great relief. However, the correct choice and the resulting relief is a matter of experience and right judgment on the part of the physician. The treatment is decided after thorough case taking of the patient. Thus, homeopathic remedies of bruxism / teeth grinding / teeth clenching are designer made unlike allopathy in which all patients receive the same drugs although trade name may be different.
