Gabriel's Approach

Gabriel treats bruxism by addressing stress (most important), optimizes magnesium and calcium, addresses sleep apnea if present, reviews medications, uses mouth guard to prevent damage, and may use Botox for severe cases. Comprehensive approach addressing root causes, not just protecting teeth.

Root Causes

Stress and anxiety (major factor)
Sleep disorders (sleep apnea)
Malocclusion
Medications (SSRIs, stimulants)
Stimulants (caffeine, nicotine)
Alcohol
Neurotransmitter imbalances
Nutritional deficiencies (magnesium, calcium)

Why Conventional Fails

Standard Treatment

Night guard (protect teeth), address stress and anxiety, treat sleep apnea, medication review, Botox for severe cases, dental correction if malocclusion.

The Problem

Mouth guard protects teeth but doesn't address cause, inadequate stress management support, sleep apnea often undiagnosed, doesn't optimize magnesium (often deficient), SSRIs can cause bruxism but rarely changed, inadequate use of relaxation techniques and biofeedback.

Dietary Guidance

Adequate magnesium and calcium, avoid stimulants (caffeine, especially afternoon/evening), avoid alcohol, stress-reducing foods, adequate B vitamins.

Lifestyle Factors

Mouth guard (protect teeth, doesn't stop grinding), stress management (most important - meditation, therapy, relaxation techniques), treat sleep apnea if present, review and adjust medications if possible, avoid caffeine and alcohol, magnesium before bed, biofeedback, Botox injections for severe cases (masseter muscle), physical therapy for TMJ.
