I have been dizzy for about a year. I had CT scans, MRI and an EEG with no significant findings. I had a tooth fixed and went to an ENT and ophthalmologist, again, every thing is normal. I went back to the dentist who checked my bite, ground down a tooth slightly and suggested using a mouth guard at night for bruxism. If this does not work what would be my next step? I become more dizzy when I chew.
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Bruise is the habitual disorder where patient has a habit of grinding the teeth against each other especially during nighttimes. your dentist has advised you with mouth guard which you can use during nighttimes to prevent the unconscious grinding of the teeth. Regular use of the appliance will minimize the tendency and will correct the bite. Use the appliance for a month and if the symptoms do no subside talk to your dentist about it. I hope this helps, take care.
