I do the exact same thing. All you have to do is go to the Dentist and get a mold made of your teeth. Then they create a %26quot;night guard%26quot;. It prevents you from grinding %26amp; has no pain or disadvantages. You just put it in right before you go to sleep %26amp; wake up take it out.
Reply:get one of those football mouth pieces from the store and follow the directions for fitting it to your mouth. wear it to bed at night and it%26#039;ll save your teeth. it%26#039;s alot cheaper than having the dentist make you one and don%26#039;t worry if it takes a while to get used to it, i used to spit mine out all the time.
Reply:I would try to keep mints, gum, a lollypop in my mouth to be mor concious of teh ahbbit. Really if you are aware of it you just have to be that much more aware of trying to stop it.
Reply:consult a dentist or an oral surgeon- you can wear a bite blocker in your mouth when you sleep at night. this helps patients with tmj stop grinding their teeth
Reply:I do the same thing. You need to consult with a dentist to address the situation and find out why you%26#039;re doing it. It could be a physical reason - such as a bad bite - or a psychological reason - such as stress.





A temporary solution to a physical reason for bruxism is a night guard - These are much better than your standard %26quot;football%26quot; mouth piece because they aren%26#039;t as bulky and are fitted to YOUR teeth and the size of YOUR mouth, rather than just the average dimensions of a group of peoples mouths. The permanent solution is to fix the physical problem, which can be addressed in any number of ways tailored to your specific case.





If it%26#039;s psychological - again a mouth guard - can be used to retrain your mouth to terminate the grinding.





Please get this addressed. The end result is damage to your teeth requiring any level of restorative dentistry ( which can become EXTREMELY expensive) and to the joint that controls your jaw, which is called TMJ.
