[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="488"] 13db.com[/caption] You've probably heard about the Associated Press's report about how flossing doesn't have proven medical benefits. Many dentists were perplexed since they're experiences showed otherwise. Now patients who could benefit from flossing may have another excuse not to. Although unrelated to flossing, an article with a similar tone surfaced in November on Dr Bicuspid. In this article, dentists seem to be undermined again, since researchers claim that there aren't good screening tools for tooth wear:
On further inspection, the research basically points out that screening tools do work together--there just hasn't been a universal tool that can cover every need. So like the flossing issue, dentists shouldn't have to defend their methods of preventative care--they know what they're doing! While everyone loses a bit of enamel as they age, bruxism can be seen on x-rays and with oral screenings, since teeth will be worn or even fractured or chipped! And if wear isn't immediately apparent, dentists can often diagnose based on the patient's symptoms, such as sensitive teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and so on. If you are concerned about bruxism, be sure to ask your dentist about it at your next teeth cleaning. Although bruxism can be identified and stopped in its tracks with a mouthguard, some people can actually reduce their jaw clenching. For instance, one study shows that those who drink alcohol or use cigarettes may be at greater risk for teeth grinding:
So if you aren't keen on wearing a mouthguard for a lengthy amount of time, you may want to consider your lifestyle habits. Also, bruxism can be caused by other conditions, such as sleep apnea, and by high amounts of stress. It's best to come up with a plan with your dentist so that you can wean yourself off of the mouthguard if possible.
