I'm starting to get complaints from my Oc that not only do a snore, I also grind my teeth.

 

This is worrying because grinding of teeth can cause tooth decay.

 

Sigh I'm going to make a visit to the dentist soon.

 

Anyone also has snoring and grinding problems?

Go visit your dentist and get a mouth guard done for your bruxism. $150 can be done.

worst than tooth decay, can result to cracking of tooth..

 

i grind badly until my molar are even.. so bad that there was a time whereby i can't even chew my meat.. normal mouth guard cannot be used as it hardly last me for 6 months, until few years back, i use a new enhance version of mouth guard.. cost me close to $500 but it really worth it, been lasting me till now.

 

if you grind, better go see a dental about it.

the traditional solutions (from my grandmother who passed away).... take a slipper (clean) on the bed. Ask your wife to take the slipper and slap on your face hard when u grind your teeth, confirm stop after kena a few times.... LOL

Sorry, what do you guys means by grind your teeth?

while asleep, one thinks that he/she is chewing something....

Hence grinding persists for long hours....

 

 

To remedy, try BBBJ doing things which can relieve your mind more often....

That means involuntary movement of the lower jaw to move left & right when the person is deep in sleep. Grinding the teeth, making funny noises.

 

My wife has this problem since young coz of stress. When she is less stressed, frequency will be lesser or no grinding. Mouth guard helps but kinda uncomfortable to wear at sleep. Try adjusting the lifestyle and try to relax more for those who have this problem.

Most people probably grind and clench their teeth from time to time, medically called bruxism. Occasional teeth grinding, medically called bruxism, does not usually cause harm, but when teeth grinding occurs on a regular basis the teeth can be damaged and other oral health complications can arise.

 

Why Do People Grind Their Teeth?

 

Although teeth grinding can be caused by stress and anxiety, it often occurs during sleep and is more likely caused by an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth.

 

How Do I Find Out if I Grind My Teeth?

 

Because grinding often occurs during sleep, most people are unaware that they grind their teeth. However, a dull, constant headache or sore jaw is a telltale symptom of bruxism. Many times people learn that they grind their teeth by their loved one who hears the grinding at night.

 

If you suspect you may be grinding your teeth, talk to your dentist. He or she can examine your mouth and jaw for signs of bruxism, such as jaw tenderness and abnormalities in your teeth.

 

Why Is Teeth Grinding Harmful?

In some cases, chronic teeth grinding can result in a fracturing, loosening, or loss of teeth. The chronic grinding may wear their teeth down to stumps. When these events happen, bridges, crowns, root canals, implants, partial dentures, and even complete dentures may be needed.

 

Not only can severe grinding damage teeth and result in tooth loss, it can also affect your jaws, result in hearing loss, cause or worsen TMD/TMJ, and even change the appearance of your face.

 

What Can I Do to Stop Grinding My Teeth?

 

Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard to protect your teeth from grinding during sleep.

 

If stress is causing you to grind your teeth, ask your doctor or dentist about options to reduce your stress. Attending stress counseling, starting an exercise program, seeing a physical therapist or obtaining a prescription for muscle relaxants are among some of the options that may be offered.

 

Other tips to help you stop teeth grinding include:

 

Avoid or cut back on foods and drinks that contain caffeine, such as colas, chocolate, and coffee.

Avoid alcohol. Grinding tends to intensify after alcohol consumption.

Do not chew on pencils or pens or anything that is not food. Avoid chewing gum as it allows your jaw muscles to get more used to clenching and makes you more likely to grind your teeth.

Train yourself not to clench or grind your teeth. If you notice that you clench or grind during the day, position the tip of your tongue between your teeth. This practice trains your jaw muscles to relax.

Relax your jaw muscles at night by holding a warm washcloth against your cheek in front of your earlobe.
