someone had a question related to

grinding of the teeth at night

could it be a vitamin deficiency and the

answer is

yes it could be and that vitamin

deficiency is vitamin

d now what is the association between

grinding of the teeth

ruxism and vitamin d well there are

so many sleep disorders including sleep

apnea

different types of insomnia including

cramps in your feet at night that are

related to

low levels of vitamin d now it could

also mean that you’re deficient in

calcium or magnesium

now if you’re going to take calcium make

sure you don’t take too much if you take

too much

it can actually create the same symptoms

as a calcium deficiency which i will do

a video on that

so it might be a good idea to take a

small amount of calcium or just get your

calcium

from food now also vitamin d deficiency

is also associated with anxiety

so if you’re trying to sleep at night

with a vitamin d deficiency

the anxiety alone can cause you to grind

your teeth

so a simple solution to find out if this

is the cause of your problem

is just take about 10 000 iu’s of

vitamin d3

at dinner time and just make sure that

that dinner also includes a little

cheese so you get your calcium

and then see if you observe any

improvements with grinding the teeth

now the difficult thing about this is to

know if you are grinding your teeth less

because you’re usually sleeping and you

don’t even know you’re grinding your

teeth

so you’re going to have to figure that

one out there is some good data to show

that vitamin d

deficiency is associated with bruxism
