I want to know the medical reason behind rubbing of teeth during sleep?
Answers:
Bruxism: Grinding and gnashing the teeth.
Bruxism is due to clenching of the teeth other than in chewing and is associated with forceful lateral or protrusive jaw movements. This results in grinding or rubbing the teeth together.
Bruxism usually occurs during sleep. It is sometimes done to such an excess that it damages the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, particularly the molar teeth, and may contribute to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.
The word "bruxism" comes from the Greek "brychein" meaning "to grind or gnash the opposing rows of upper and lower molar teeth."
some times if u dont masterbate or dont have any other rubbing activites u may start rubbing your teeth and get satisfied
I'm assuming you mean grinding your teeth together while you sleep? My son does this when he is dreaming. I have heard some others say it is stress related.
This could be a little dengerous. But please read this word - COULD. There are instances where a person grinds his/her teeth during sleep. This is due to a certain secretion from the brian cells. This could be a symptom of brain disorder.
