Bruxism and PTSD in Veterans Disability | All you Need to Know

In this video titled Leab from Prestige Veteran Medical Consulting, focuses on the condition of bruxism (teeth grinding) in relation to PTSD and other mental health conditions. Leab explains the difference between bruxism and TMJ, highlighting that while TMJ involves the jaw joint, bruxism is about teeth grinding, which can occur consciously or unconsciously, and may be linked to stress or previous oral trauma. She shares her personal experience with both conditions and discusses treatments, which can involve primary care doctors or dentists.

I have bruxism so bad I had to have crown lengthening on my front lower teeth. They were just stubs before the oral surgery. I have service-related PTSD.

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

I am so sorry! I had to get braces to help with mine too! Thank you for watching

[@ZeroCarbDaddy]

This actually explains why I grind my teeth. My Dentist asked me if I have sleep apnea because they are so ground down. I don't have sleep apnea and this might be my answer as I do have MDD and a list of other ailments. I'm going to ask my dentist. Thank you!

Can a dentist provide a nexus letter and complete a private DBQ in these cases?

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

If they are willing to yes

[@wowzers1069]

Is there a way to file for bruxism? I have been diagnosed with bruxism by two dentists I have seen, but have been told by other vets that it is not something that can be turned into a claim. Thanks.

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Hi sir if you follow up with an accredited legal professional they should be able to advise you on this

[@Realtimer33]

I was told on active duty by the dentist that I grind my teeth. My civilian dentist was concerned and had a mouth guard made for me due to lots of grinding. When I got out I was denied bruxism and have PTSD which was rated. I’m at 90, but don’t like the CNP doctors they sent me to before they didn’t seem to care at all. Should I apply for not again?

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

I am sorry to hear this sir. That is totally up to you. Best of luck to you with this.

[@johncasper8193]

I was wounded in combat Marine Corps. The VA dentist told me that I grind my teeth in my sleep. The dentist put veneers on the teeth I ground down and lengthened my canine teeth so I couldn’t grind my jaw left and right.

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Sorry to hear this sir @@johncasper8193

[@ixsmaelable]

I recently was granted bruxism but they just added it to my service connected anxiety all into one. I have been diagnosed with TMJ. I hope this idiots don’t try to add it to anxiety too

[@prestigeveteranmedical]

Best of luck to you with this!

[@Blacksilver323]

Same

[@johnabbott257]

Bruxism is not a compensable, stand alone contention. However, certain conditions can be granted secondary to bruxism. Ex: if bruxism is subsumed in a mental condition, certain conditions can still be granted secondary to it, even though bruxism is NSC.
