The rise in ADHD and ADD diagnoses among adults and children is a significant trend, bringing more attention to the challenges faced by those with these conditions. One often overlooked issue is the dental problems associated with ADHD and its treatment. Medications commonly prescribed for ADHD can lead to teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching, causing a range of dental problems, including tooth damage, jaw ache, and headaches. Our products made by qualified dental technicians offer a solution with high-quality, custom-fit night guards that protect your teeth without the high markup typically charged by dentists.
The Connection Between ADHD, Medications, and Dental Issues
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) are increasingly diagnosed conditions that affect attention, behaviour, and energy levels. While effective treatments are available, including medications like stimulants (e.g., Vyvanse/Elvanse, Adderall, Ritalin) and non-stimulants (e.g., Strattera), these drugs can have side effects. One of the notable side effects is bruxism and clenching, which can lead to significant dental problems.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
- Effects on Teeth: Continuous grinding can wear down tooth enamel, leading to increased sensitivity, cracks, and chips.
- Jaw Pain: The constant pressure on the jaw muscles can cause pain and discomfort, contributing to TMJ disorders.
- Clenching
- Tooth Damage: Clenching exerts immense pressure on teeth, which can result in fractures and other damage.
- Headaches and Jaw Ache: Persistent clenching can lead to tension headaches and chronic jaw pain.
Why Custom-Fit Night Guards Are Essential
Given these risks, it’s crucial for individuals with ADHD who are experiencing bruxism and clenching to protect their teeth.
