Treatment of bruxism in Colombia

What is bruxism?

Bruxism is the involuntary habit of clenching or grinding the teeth without any functional purpose. It can occur during the day or, more commonly, at night. Bruxism is often linked to psychological stress or sleep disturbances (parasomnias) and can lead to significant symptoms, including tooth wear, dental fractures, and various types of pain—muscular, joint, dental, headaches, neck, and ear pain. There is also a strong connection between bruxism and sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea, a component of Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS), involves partial (hypopneas) or complete (apneas) closures of the upper airway during sleep.

At Gabriel Murillo Dental Clinic in Armenia, we offer comprehensive treatment to address the symptoms of dental bruxism, sleep apnea, and snoring.
