Grinding your teeth SUCKS!

Thoughts?

Posted by spacechica on Aug-24-2008 12:56:

i would recommend a custom- made mouth guard bc chronic tooth- grinding *may* make your teeth wear down...

its a nervous thing. stop being so nervous.

Stop taking so much ecstasy, fool.

Take magnesium supplements, they will sort you out.

If it's stress related, get a night splint made by your dentist.

Stop chewing cud. Get your incisors active instead and rip the meat off a t-bone steak.

Damn vegetarians.

yes, get a custom made mouth guard that most dentists can do for you. you could be wearing down your teeth and you could actually end up with TMJ which sometimes requires surgery.

I have severe case of it, wears the fuck out of my teeth, i need a jaw op but they won't do them until your BMI is 30 or below nowadays. I had a mouth guard made and it was awful, so thick & plastic and impossible to keep in the mouth.

Or, you can do like my sister does and just go out to a Target or something and get a $2 mouth guard.

I've noticed that sometimes I grind my teeth heavily during a dream, and even for a minute or two right after I wake up from said dream. Only happens every now and then.

yes thank you I've lost 27lbs this year. I'm not even going to dignify it with the story of what has been up for me in the last 8yrs, but im working on bettering myself and that includes this. Plus I'm in reasonable 'shape' comparatively to my weight anyway.

They are f'in uncomfortable. I was grinding my teeth and the dentist said I should get a proper nightguard, at about $450. It doesn't take a genius to figure out you just need something to stop the teeth rubbing against eachother.

I tried the athletic mouthguard and it was nasty, just kept my jaw too far open. At Walgreens you can buy a decent, comfortable nightguard for about $40. If you wear through it within 90days they'll send you another gratis. I managed to throw mine away by accident after an overnight flight!

I had the professional one.. but my teeth shifted after they pulled my wisdom teeth out and it doesn't fit anymore..

You never really get used to it.. Its hard to fall asleep with it.. I try to catch myself while im awake, but while im sleeping i can't help it.. I was at the dentist last week and my technician told me to just go buy the generic one at the store instead of another professional one..

Ill have to look into the Walgreens one...

Grinding teeth rocks!

I inadvertently grind my teeth during the night, and my jaw pops all the time when I eat. My dentist tells me to just keep my mouth closed all night for 6 weeks. I doubt that's going to happen/work.
