In this episode of MedSpa Mayhem, the conversation explores the phenomenon of teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism, and its growing prevalence since the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Dee is joined by endodontics specialist Rachelle Cohen, DMD, who discusses the significant dental issues arising from bruxism, such as cracked teeth and infections. The episode delves into the potential causes behind this dental stress, including the durability of older silver fillings, stress, and the side effects of common antidepressants. They also evaluate various treatments, focusing on night guards and the increasingly accepted use of Botox to mitigate the grinding force, reduce muscle size, and potentially train individuals to stop grinding altogether, which could save both money and dental damage in the long term.
