How to Explain Bruxism to Patients

Explaining signs, symptoms, and treatments to patients can sometimes be challenging. It can become especially challenging when using dental terminology that your patients may not be familiar with.

In our dentistry courses, our faculty often share that they use pictures and illustrations to explain conditions and treatments to their patients so that they not only understand what is going on in their masticatory system, but they understand how it is and will effect their oral health.

Watch the following video as Dr. Leonard Hess uses layman’s terms, pictures, and illustrations to explain bruxism.
