Is there really any "cure" or at least tips to stop grinding my teeth?

I grind my teeth at night due to anxiety I was experiencing a while back. Well, my anxiety is gone, but I still grind my teeth at night and clentch my jaw during the day without noticing. I know I need to get a night gaurd to prevent any teeth damage, but I want to stop this all together; any suggestions?

What you need is a nightguard. You need to visit a dentist or a dental college and have a custom made nightguard made. Custom made to your mouth is the best. You wear it every night to protect your teeth. If that is too expensive visit a dental hygiene college clinic and have a "athletic mouthguard" made. It is pretty much the exact same thing as made in a private dental office as a nightguard. Dont tell them you want it to wear at night. Pretend you want it for a sport.


Visit www.ada.org for local dental and dental hygiene colleges in your state.


In mass athletic mouthguards are made at dental hygiene schools for about 10 dollars.
Reply:Go to Walmart. Sports section. Get a football player tooth guard (they're like 97 cents). Put it on at night..


Works great! And much less spendy then the dentist.
Reply:The night guard should help. Any way you might still be stressed about stuff? Try something to help you relax before bed. a bath, a cup of sleepy tea, something that you like to do to relax.
Reply:It's called an occlusal guard- the inexpensive ones are widely available at drug stores and chain retailers-





if that doesn't help you should see your dentist who will make a custom one for you. ((more expensive!))
Reply:i grind my teeth to at night, but im afraid of choking on a mouth guardl ol
Reply:You could try a mouth guard.
Reply:maybe a dentist could reccomend you an appliance (discreet) for at night and during the day which you remove whenever but it just protects those pearly whites :)
