Is it bad to grinding the teeth during sleep?
yes-call your dentist-they can help
Reply:yea
Reply:Yes, it is. Over time, you will wear the enamel off of your back teeth and it will change your bite. You may have TMJ - Temporo Mandibular Joint Dysfunction. I have it myself and have to wear a night appliance to save my teeth from the grinding. See your dentist - you wouldn't be grinding without a reason. Good luck!
Reply:You need to get a nightguard to wear at night to prevent you destroying your teeth and hurting your jaws.
Reply:yes
Reply:Yes it is heavy wear and tear on your teeth talk to your dentist he may fit you with a night guard.
Reply:Yes, it's bad. First, grinding your teeth wears down the enamel which protect your teeth from cavities and disease. Second, the grinding motion causes a strain on the muscles and nerves going to your jaw. You will eventually develop TMJ, which I have from grinding my teeth.
Reply:Not good at all. Go see your dentist and get a bite plate, splint, mouth guard, or what ever you want to call it.
Reply:Yes its really bad. Google "grinding teeth sleeping" to get some immediate answers. There is a bunch of things you can do.
Reply:You can wear down your molars, irritate the ligaments that hold the teeth in place (in the jaw), cause muscle cramping, damage to the joints, and in really bad cases, fracture the teeth.





You should see your dentist; they can build you a prosthetic that will prevent you from grinding.
Reply:yes! and u DO NOT have to go to a dentist to fix it , they have like "football bit" things for ur mouth u use when u sleep! they work great! try rite-aid!!
Reply:Yes it can chip your tooth better get that checked with the dentist.
Reply:Yes, it is not healthy. Grinding the teeth can cause nerve damage and "kill" your teeth. It can also cause a degeneration of the jaw muscles, possibly culminating in what they call TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint ) dis-function or in extreme cases lockjaw.
Reply:Yes, it is. I will slowly recede your top enamel.


I have this problem. I also in my past had braces and now I am required to where a plastic retainer. This helps because now I am only grinding the two pieces of plastic together and I tend to do it less.


Talk to your dentist and see what available options there are for you.





Here is are websites I came across. Check it out. One is on a product for people that grind their teeth.
Reply:Of course, it can give you terrible toothaches.(Believe me, I can relate)Like your 1st answerer said, go see your dentist, they are the ones who can help. They'll know what to do. Good luck!
