Teeth chattering

3 years with PD have developed annoying teeth chattering which I can consciously stop but returns when I relax or concentrate hard on some task! Anyone had similar?

Hi @GordonA :wave:

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your message. I am sorry to hear about your teeth chatting, that sounds really frustrating for you.

I am sure others on the forum will let you know if they’ve had similar experiences and what may have helped them, but if you’d like further advice feel free to call the Parkinson’s UK helpline on 0808 800 0303. The helpline is a free service open Monday-Friday, 9am-7pm made up of trained advisers, including Parkinson’s nurses who will be able to give you further information and support so do give them a call.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the replies- my consultant recommended that I slowly stopped taking Quietopoline and although this was a rocky Road it look has certainly helped reduce the problem!

Teeth chattering is not always associated with Parkinson’s disease. If bruxism is suspected, the diagnosis and identification of the causal chain should begin with a visit to the dentist. Based on the analysis of symptoms and examination of the dental system, the doctor makes a conclusion. Only by eliminating the factors that led to the development of pathology will a person be able to get rid of the disease. As a rule, complex treatment programs are used, which are compiled individually for each patient. These may include psychotherapy, medication to relax the chewing muscles, replacement of implants, restoration of dentition, and so on. For implant replacement, you can contact Implant Dentistry in Eastlake Ohio.
