We’re in the first month of the new year and chances are that you’ve made some resolutions to improve your overall quality of life. For many of us, this means being a little more conscious in regards to the foods that we use to fuel our body. Nowadays, it’s ridiculously easy to slip into extremely unhealthy diets. Fast food outlets seem to lie at every corner and convenience food is more readily available than ever. Sweets, cakes, and other treats that should be occasional become daily snacks. It’s not all too surprising that obesity is on the rise and that increasing numbers of people are experiencing health problems as a direct result of what they’re eating. The good news is that there is opportunity for change. While there are more options when it comes to unhealthy food options, there are more healthy options infiltrating the market too. So, let’s take a moment to reconsider your eating habits and to guide you in the right direction!

Clenching or grinding one’s teeth is a perfectly natural thing to do, and for the majority of the population, it isn’t an issue, yet for some unfortunate people, teeth grinding is a problem. If left unattended, grinding your teeth will lead to serious erosion of the tooth enamel, which will lead to more serious issues.

Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding, which can be caused in several ways - incorrect jaw alignment, stress, or a medical condition are all common reasons for teeth grinding.

Grinding your teeth is a habit that can be changed, and once you are aware that you are doing it, you can make conscious decisions to relax the jaw muscle when the grinding begins.  A major cause of teeth grindings is stress, which can make a person clench their jaw, and with constant practice, you can forge a new routine that doesn’t include clenching your jaw. Taking a hot bath before bed is said to help relax the facial muscles, or perhaps listening to some soothing music before bed will help you to relax.
