Go to the dentist and get a guard for your mouth to wear at night. You don't want to have no enamel on your teeth. It's good that you know you grind at night. Now you can do something to protect your teeth.
Reply:You can buy a mouth guard at a pharmacy and it prevents you from grinding your teeth at night. I have the same problem. For the teeth that you have alreday worn down- a dentist will have to fix that.
Reply:get yourself a bite guard. You can get one custom fitted by a dentist, or you can get one at a sporting goods store that is generic, but it will do the job.

Reply:Your dentist can make a night guard for you. I have one and now I can't sleep without it, even though I don't grind my teeth as much anymore.

Reply:YOU CAN GO AND GET A MOUTH GUARD AT THE DRUG STORE....WEAR IT AT NIGHT, THAT IS PROBABLY WHEN YOU GRIND YOUR TEETH....IT REALLY WORKS....
Reply:Mouth guards will stop the damage to your teeth. They are uncomfortable and you might end up taking them out by accident through the night.





Try relaxation techniques before you go to bed. Maybe even having a shower will help. Calming music or a story tape might help you fall asleep peacefully. Through the day deliberately unclench your teeth and leave a little space between your uppers and lowers. All these techniques, and practicing them helped me to stop grinding and clenching my teeth through the night. Good luck to you.

Reply:I have an occusal night guard. It stops me from grinding my teeth. It's awkward and I drool a lot, but it beats the heck out of grinding my teeth at night.
