What is the reason for adult women to grind their teeth when sleeping?

Many people grind their teeth when they sleep. Why is this? Will grinding teeth while sleeping have adverse effects on human health? As for the reasons why adult women grind their teeth while sleeping, the following is an analysis for everyone.

What causes teeth grinding while sleeping?

1. Caused by sparganosis in the stomach and intestines

If there are sparganosis in the stomach and intestines, it will cause people to grind their teeth when they sleep at night. Parasites are common in the human intestines. Parasites secrete a variety of toxins in the intestines. The substances metabolized by the parasites can stimulate some parts of the brain of a sleeping person, causing the masseter muscles to remain contracted, thus causing bruxism.

2. Causes of tooth occlusion

Occlusal obstruction of the human teeth is also an important reason for grinding teeth at night, because the occlusal obstruction causes the harmonious relationship of the swallowing organs to be destroyed, so the body will use increased bruxism to eliminate the occlusal obstruction. Because caries causes pulpitis, apical periodontitis and other painful diseases, the habit of swallowing on one side and frequent swallowing on one side can also cause occlusion and cause bruxism. In addition, uneven teeth lead to inharmonious occlusion, which can also cause bruxism.

3. Mental and psychological reasons

Due to the influence of mental disorders such as nervousness, anxiety, emotional excitement, fright or overwork, after people fall asleep, although the cerebral cortex is in a state of inhibition, some parts are still in a state of excitement, which can also cause bruxism. In addition, gastric dysfunction, due to long-term bad diet, etc., resulting in poor gastrointestinal function can also cause bruxism. Unbalanced nutrition in the human body and lack of some vitamins and nutrients can also cause bruxism.
