Grinding your teeth at night, Bruxism, can be stress induced. Reduce the stress in your life and see if it helps. In the meanwhile, get a mouth guard from a dentist to prevent further damage to your teeth.
How do i stop grinding my teeth in my sleep? just that ive wakened up with a really sore jaw?
Get a mouth piece like a sport one and wear it while you sleep.
Reply:Pleeeeease someone have a good answer to this cos i have exactly the same problem!
Reply:What are you stressed about son?
Reply:have a dentist make u a bite plate
that u bite on at nite
Reply:Your dentist will give you a mouth guard thingy like boxers wear and this will solve it
Reply:Get a mouthpiece - like one you can by for football or other sports. Or you could spend more money and get fitted for one at your dentist's office.
You should also get to the root of the problem. Obviously you are really stressed out about something or anxious or whatever causing you to grind at night. I've done it and it's now causing problems with my teeth. My ex boyfriend used to do it and let me tell ya...that is the most horrible sound to wake up to is someone grinding their teeth! It is so eerie!
Reply:ask your dentition for a gum shield.
Reply:do you do it during the day as well? if your just setting there, like right now, ready this... are your teeth together? if so, get in the habit of holding your lips together but teeth apart! Once you have mastered this you may not clench at night (worked for me) if it doesnt work get a mouth guard from the dentist or even a football mouthguard from the store
also - try a relaxation tape b4 bed
good luck
Reply:You need to go to your dentist and get them to make you a splint. They have to take an impression and send this to the lab.
It is made out of hard plastic and you wear it at night, it will prevent you from getting a sore jaw, and damaging your teeth.
If you are in the UK you cannot get this on the NHS and so you will be charged a private fee.

Reply:Get a mouthguard from the drugstore or the dentist can fit u with one. Wear it at night and MAYBE in the morning and it can "retrain" your mouth. U are sore cuz ur jaw muscles are exerting so much energy when grinding. A mouthguard stops the contact from ur top and bottom teeth. Wear it or it'll cause ur teeth to move, get worn down, chip, crack and lead to chronic sore jaw.
Reply:I herd this can be stress? are you stressed?
Reply:Well after trying a tooth guard and medication, I just had botox injections 2 days ago.This is supposed to weaken the muscles so you dont clench so much. Still got a couple of days to go to see if the work, but flippin 'eck they hurt! like getting socked in the jaw. So speak to your dentist and get something done before it gets as bad ad mine!

How do you stop grinding your teeth while asleep?
Go to your local drugstore and buy a night guard. You will boild it so that it conforms to your mounth. It sounds uncomfortable and obstrusive, but it really isnt, and you'll barley notice it during the night. This will stopp grinding from damaging your teeth.
How do you stop grinding your teeth while asleep?
they have these night guard things they are like retainers and you put them in while your sleeping so you cant grind
Reply:You can go to a drugstore or to you r doctor and request the stressgard. You have to learn to relax your jaw and reduce the harmful effect commonly associates with bruxism. Also, you need to stop stressing yourself. I think you need a stress relief management. Three R's. (Relax, Release, and related)
Reply:put a sock in it.
Reply:I had excellent results with hypnosis to put a stop to my night grinding. Look in the phone book for Certified Hypnotherapists and ask them for references but it's very safe and not really very expensive at all. For me it took only two sessions.
Reply:A nightguard is great.
If you can't seem to find a good size nightguard, or it feels funny. contact a doctor or dentist. sometimes they can carry nightguards that can be fitted and formed to fit your teeth and mouth.
Reply:the dentist can make u a night guard to fit ur teeth. that would be best b/c grinding can really screw up ur teeth.

How can I stop grinding my teeth, from taking effexor, willit go away?
Itstarted when my dose was upped... this week
How can I stop grinding my teeth, from taking effexor, willit go away?
Yes, you need a mouth guard. If you don't have dental insurance, you can find one in the pharmacy section of Wal-Mart for about $20-25. You fit it to yourself and wear it every night between your teeth to keep from wearing them away. I have serious grinding problems, I am on Prozac and Seroquel.
Reply:You need to go to the dentist and get a mouth guard. You may always grind you teeth good luck.

How can I stop grinding my teeth at night?
There is no way to stop but there is something that can prevent you teeth from breaking and becoming worn down etc. You can go to the dentsit and have an impression taken for a NG, these can run between 200-500 dollars. Or you can go to CVS and buy a sports guard which will be a little more bulkier and annoying in your mouth but itll work at nite and youll only pay about 15 dollars max

Reply:try to sleep straight lying on your back. that should relax the jaw more than if you sleep on your side.
Reply:buy a mouth guard...or if u dont want to spend that much on one(its about 20 dollars) then buy one of those things that football players use
Reply:You cant because it is something you do in your sleep. The solution is to buy a mouth guard. Try going to any local pharmacy and they sell a cheap over the counter mouth guard that you can buy asap. Wear it to bed every night to prevent your teeth from touching so your teeth wont wear away. Or go to your dentist and buy a mouth guard from them (cost 200 dollars or more. I wish I had bought the cheaper store one first).

How do i stop grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw when asleep?
It could be TMJ in which case you would need to consult a specialist...
Otherwise you could probably just try an otc 'occlusal guard' which you can purchase at any drug store, for relatively cheap- to wear while sleeping. goodluck.

Reply:You have the option of buying an inexpensive, but short-lived mouth guard from the store, or buying an expensive, but longer lasting guard from your dentist. Insurance typically won't cover the guard, so take that into consideration as well. I was grinding so much at night that I was damaging my teeth. I went for the cheapie guard, which lasts me about 4-6 months before I shred it.

How can you stop grinding your teeth at night?
I have the same exact problem with the grinding of teeth at night. I've been doing it for yrs just more lately than before. I was told to get a mouth guard to help with stopping. It does wear down your teeth. Could get painful after a while, I'm getting up in the mornings with sore jaws and teeth cause I do it so much. I don't want to see this happening to you.. so go get a guard either at Wal-Mart, CVS or Walgreens.

I think there is osmething you can buy at like CVS to put in your mouth while you sleep
Reply:Go to your dentist %26amp; get a mouthgard to sleep in.
Reply:My brother had the same problem, but it turns out that he was just cold. I think that there is something at pharmacies that helps with that.
Reply:You have to go see your dentist and have him make you a mouth guard to wear at night. If you don't do this you will wear down the surfaces of your teeth,.
Reply:I had the same problem and i got a mouth guard that was suggested by my dentist. Just go to Wal Mart and get a sport mouth guard, one that you boil and it forms to your mouth. Those are what your dentist is gonna give you any way, just thirty dollars more.
Reply:Get a mouth gaurd.
Reply:you can get a mouth guard. guess it looks like something a boxer would use..
they have one that supposidly helps snoring.. perhaps i should get one..lol
Reply:see a dentist- you can get a "night guard"-- it is made out of a special type of plastic-- what they do is make a mold of your teeth so that it will fit correctly--it fits to your top teeth and basically prevents the grinding from occurring. It is totally painless- will cost about 400 dollars- and depending on if you have dental insurance and the way your dentist would write it up you may get some help in paying for it. My wife has used one for the past 10 years and it has worked wonders. Prior to that she suffered with constant jaw and tooth pain because of the grinding. Of course you may want to consult an orthodontist also as it may indicate a need for braces- either way seek some help so that you can have some peace and a good night's sleep.

Reply:mouth guard
Reply:It's a psychological thing. It takes determination and self-dicipline. Offer yourself, say, a daily Hershey's bar (or weekly if you want to lose weight.) For every day/week you go without grinding your teeth, you can eat that Hershey's bar. Everytime you catch yourself grinding your teeth, stop at once and deprive yourself. The bar will be an incentive to focus on not grinding your teeth, but only if you are disciplined enough to do it. Eventually you will stop alltogether, but you can still have the chocolate bar. :)
This works well for other bad habits, too. I used to chew my nails all the time without realizing it. This works.
Reply:you need to relax.
i used to do it while 'm sleeping and it was affecting my hearing.i was in pain in my jaw and i thought that was something wrong with my teeth.
the doctor told me about and suddenly i understood that i need to loose my jaw and smile often .seriously ,when we smile and lath we naturally relax the jaw.
i hope that helps.

How do I stop grinding my teeth?
I dont think I do it when asleep, but I'm constantly doing it when awake. Stress makes it worse but no stress doesnt get rid of it. I really want to stop!
How do I stop grinding my teeth?
Stress is usually the culprit, although some meds can do this.
I take Adderall for ADHD and it sort of had me doing this for a while, at first. I work hard to be very aware and try hard to avoid it, that has helped.
Perhaps the Dr might want to help you manage your stress rections.
Good luck to ya!
Reply:Knock all those suckers out like the 4 you already have hehehe
Reply:this is something i have been trying to stop myself from doing.
the only thing that i have found that helps it but doesnt stop is those herbal stress remedys.
like kalms.
i havent come across anything that has stopped it yet , but i guess if it is something you want to stop then go to your dentist or doctor although im sure the most they will do is give you a teeth guard or something.
if you find something please inform me :)

How can I stop grinding my teeth at night?
You probabaly can never make yourself stop grinding your teeth at night! But you can go to the dentist and have them make a mouthguard. These are pretty expensive...so you can also just go to a sporting goods department, buy a way cheaper mouthguard there. It won't fit as nicely as one from the dentist would, but they're way cheaper!
Good luck!

I would definately get one or else see a dentist though or else it can lead to the wearing down of your teeth and possibly worse things.
Reply:grinding causes big trouble to your teeth and also pain to your jaw, neck and ears. go to the drug store and buy the doctors nightguard. it's simple to form to your mouth and works great.
Reply:The "boil and bite" sports mouth guards work, but they actually have night guards specifically for this purpose at most pharmacies. I got mine at Walmart for about $20. It's called "Doctor's Night Guard - dental protector for night time teeth grinding". Considering that the dentist will charge about $450 for a custom one, this is a pretty good deal. =)
Reply:get a piece of flat wax line 1/4 inch thick. cut it to fit your mouth in a "U" form, and bite in it .keep it during night. If that dosnt work, then you have an advanced form of Bruxism and you need to go see an orthodontist for that.
Dr. B DMD
Reply:determine if the grinding is caused by stress. often times grinding is a symptom. work to determine and then resolve the stress and worry that is causing it. in the meantime you can be fitted with a guard for your teeth. grinding is not a 'forever' thing. just another problem that you can resolve. i know, i went through it myself.
Reply:The boil and bite kind of mouth guard may work if your problem has not yet become acute. But remember it does not come with the necessary advice directed at the total removal of root cause/problem. The continued bruxism may gift you with the bite problem, attrition in teeth needing crowns, and possibly TMJ problems which will be more time consuming and expensive to unwind.

Reply:I don't believe you can stop. Even when I'm not stressed I still gnash and grind. You need a nightguard from your dentist/orthodontist pronto. The longer you wait the more damage your teeth will have done to each other. I didn't even realize I was doing it until my dentist noticed the wear and asked me about it. And then I started getting headaches and I couldn't eat cold food without getting toothaches. Just need to get a nightguard made. Smaller than a retainer and they just fit on the top teeth and don't even cover the tooth. I've been wearing mine for the past two years, hoping one day the gnahsing would go away. Stress triggers it. Good Luck! Also don't buy the cheap mold to your mouth ones. They are way too large and bulky. Waste of money. Go have a proffessional one made!
Reply:If you go to the dentist he will tell you the best way to keep from grindig your teeth at night is to wear a mouth gaurd before you go to sleep.
Reply:Wear a night guard for your teeth while you are asleep, and focus on your grinding when you are awake. Determine if you grind out of habit, or because you are stressed, nervous, etc. Try to identify the cause and then focus on stopping. I would also suggest checking your temporomandibular joint with a dentist, perhaps some adjustment is needed.
Reply:Wear a mouth guard. It helps you to not grind your teeth at night. You can go to a sport outlet store i'm pretty sure.
Reply:They actually make a mouth guard type thing designed for people who grind your teeth. I was having jaw problems a few years ago and my dentist told me it was because I was grinding my teeth in my sleep and gave me one, which I wore for a couple of months and now I don't do it. When you're awake you just have to be concious of you're doing it and make yourself stop. But really the mouth guard is great it retrains your mouth not to do it.
Reply:Teethgrinding is related to other things ---anger, gallbladder issues, and one of them could be parasites.

Reply:my doctor recommend a mouth piece for my mother and it really works

Reply:My brother wears a football mouth guard at night...dentist recommended.
Reply:Many ppl grind their teeth at night, it's normal and occurs in people and other animals. Occurence varies with stress level and depth of sleep, but there's no reliable way to stop it. Would not recommend medical options unless it is giving you physical problems (like TM joint problems, chewing problems, or pain).
Probably the easiest thing you can do is to get yourself a mouth/teeth guard for sleeping. You can get one from a dentist/orthodonist or a generic one from a pharmacy store. It will seem uncomfortable for a little bit, but once you are used to it, it'll make that teeth grinding much less of a problem.
Reply:I grind my teeth at night and constantly clench my jaw during the day. I have found that wearing a NightGuard while I sleep is extremely helpful. This device is a plastic piece that fits around your upper teeth and is actually quite comfortable if you are careful to form it correctly. It relieves the pain and pressure from grinding. They are about 18 dollars a piece and last for about 3-6 months. You can find them in the toothpaste isle at Target or any department store. Teeth grinding can be very harmful to your teeth enamel and jaw, so it is also a good idea to talk to your dentist about any concerns you have. Hope this helps!
Reply:Problems Caused by Bruxism
Bruxism can either directly or indirectly cause many problems. Grinding can cause teeth to become painful or loose. Patients can literally grind away parts of their teeth, leaving them with worn surfaces or fractured enamel.
1. Wearing of teeth.
Wear occurs from the movement of the teeth harshly against one another. Although all teeth may show this type wear, it is especially noticeable when a person has front teeth that appear having the same length - as if they were filed down.
2. Breaking of teeth.
As teeth wear, the edges of front teeth and the cusps or corners of back teeth will begin to show microfractures or cracks. These cracks can not be seen on x-rays. It takes magnified vision and/or an intraoral magnified image to diagnose them. Where this becomes especially important, is that teeth with these type of fractures will either eventually chip, break a corner, or yet require root canal therapy. The reason for root canal therapy is that the fracture begins on the surface of the tooth and eventually deepens until the crack enters the area of the nerve.
3. Sensitive teeth.
Usually a generalized soreness and/or a cold sensitivity..
4. Receeding gums and/or teeth with gum line “notches”.
Most people have been told or assume that receeding gums occur because of age, using a hard bristle brush or the occurence of gum (periodontal) disease. In fact none of these reasons are correct in a majority of the cases. These are referred to as abrasion areas. When teeth grind hard against each other year after year, they flex at the gum line and the enamel (which ends thinly at the gum line) microfractures away. The end result is an area at the gum line that you can catch your fingernail in and may get extremely sensitive to touch and/or cold.

Exposed root surface and advanced abrasion areas.
5. Loose teeth
Teeth loosen because of the "rocking" back forth that occurs. The best analogy is the example of getting a fence post out of the ground by rocking it back and forth.
6. Periodontal pockets (loss of supporting bone around the teeth).
Sometimes instead of the tooth getting loose, there may be a generalized horizontal loss of supporting bone and/or localized areas of bone loss.
7. Bony ridges (tori)
Instead of losing bone support - some people actually form "extra" bone to support the teeth (this appears as bony ridges that can be seen and felt on the jaw bones as a smooth raised area about at the level of the roots.
brux1.jpg (11419 bytes)
Lower jaw showing extra bone in the "floor" of the mouth by the tongue.
brux2.jpg (6742 bytes)
Cheeks pulled back and the ridge along
and above the upper back teeth.
8.
Cheek irritation - A ridge or line of fibrosed (toughened) tissue on the inside of the cheek that corresponds to where the teeth come together. Sometimes a person will actually bite themselves along this line (especially in the most posterior molar area).
9. Sore muscles (especially in the cheek and temple area) When these two muscles are overused. They may get sore - just like when you over exercise, your other muscles get sore.
10. Headaches (especially upon waking in the same muscle areas mentioned above).
Instead of soreness, the muscle aches will appear as a headache.
11. TMJ problems (jaw joint pain / soreness / etc
The jaw joint may be over loaded and resulting problems occur.
These signs take time (usually decades of years) to show themselves.
Does everyone show every problem? No they don't, we are all very different. Some of us will exhibit none of these problems (thank your genetic code for that), some of us will exhibit severe problems (curse your genetic code for that). So any combination, or NO problems may exist for any one person.

Treatment of Bruxism
There are a number of ways to treat bruxism. Your dentist will determine which single treatment or combination of treatments is right for you. When stress is the major cause of bruxism, people need to find ways to relax. People who have difficulty handling stress may need to seek counseling or the dentist may prescribe muscle relaxants to relax jaw muscles. To help alleviate muscle pain, physical therapy may be needed.
Nightgaurds
It would be logical to think that an acrylic nightguard is simply a piece of plastic used to cover and prevent the teeth from coming together while sleeping at night. This is true - BUT - most importantly, when in place it provides a correct bite so that muscles will relax and problems in a persons bite will not trigger the bruxing action. Making and delivering nightguards correctly is very important. A point needs to be made that tooth wear still slowly occurs when using a nightguard. The reason for this is that a person (especially severe bruxers) will clench and very slightly grind during the day time when their guard is not being worn.
A nightguard is NOT a solution, rather a method of greatly decreasing the damage caused by bruxing. It is possible to alter a bite so that a guard may not be needed - the method varies from case to case.
The following tips can be helpful to prevent grinding:
bullet To help break the habit, place reminders around the house, or try repeating phrases that help you relax.
bullet To help relax clenching muscles, apply a warm wash cloth to the side of your face.
bullet To relieve stress, cut down on caffeine, take warm baths and ease up on yourself.
Because it is thought that an abnormal bite may predispose a person to grinding, treatment may involve removing the "high spots" of a tooth. Another treatment involves wearing a plastic mouth guard at night to prevent tooth grinding. A bite plate is a removable plastic device which prevents teeth from coming together. In some cases , such as with an overbite, it may eventually improve the bite. A method used to treat the damage caused by more serious cases of grinding involves reshaping or reconstruction of the biting surfaces with crowns or inlays.
Grinding is a common occurrence among many people at some time or another. If you develop facial pain, fatigue or other problems, treatment may be needed. Talk with your dentist if you suspect that you are grinding your teeth. We will help relieve you from the daily grind of bruxism.

Reply:well i don't about during the day but you can go almost anywhere like walmart and such and buy a night(mouth)gaurd so that you dont do it when you sleep.
Reply:i went to my dentist and got a mouth shield i wear at night not attractive but it really helps wear on my teeth and jaw being sore....
Reply:You can go to the dentist and talk to him about it and get a mouthgaurd and i think drug stores carry something for it.
Reply:I do it too. You don't need to stop, there's nothing wrong with that. Grind all you want too.
Reply:The dentist tolled me its because you are nerves or depress!!!
Reply:You can go to the dentist and they will make you a splint. This doesn't stop you but it helps protect your teeth. I didn't want to pay for one so I just got a sport mouth peice molded it to my mouth and cut it to make it a bit shorter so it would only cover my front 8 teeth about.
Reply:durring the day you will just have to be more concious of it. I bite my nails sometimes without thinking so I know where you are comming from. The best thing for night time is to get a sleep guard from your dentist.
Reply:Put those nightgaurds on... .... ... ...
Reply:you can go to your dentist and get a nightguard. I think they have cheap ones at some drug stores.
Reply:if you go to the dentist then they can give you something to put over your teeth
Reply:i do the same thing i do not notice when i do it
Reply:I don't believe you can stop. Even when I'm not stressed I still gnash and grind. You need a nightguard from your dentist/orthodontist pronto. The longer you wait the more damage your teeth will have done to each other. I didn't even realize I was doing it until my dentist noticed the wear and asked me about it. And then I started getting headaches and I couldn't eat cold food without getting toothaches. Just need to get a nightguard made. Smaller than a retainer and they just fit on the top teeth and don't even cover the tooth. I've been wearing mine for the past two years, hoping one day the gnahsing would go away. Stress triggers it. Good Luck! Also don't buy the cheap mold to your mouth ones. They are way too large and bulky. Waste of money. Go have a proffessional one made!
Reply:If you go to the dentist he will tell you the best way to keep from grindig your teeth at night is to wear a mouth gaurd before you go to sleep.
Reply:Wear a night guard for your teeth while you are asleep, and focus on your grinding when you are awake. Determine if you grind out of habit, or because you are stressed, nervous, etc. Try to identify the cause and then focus on stopping. I would also suggest checking your temporomandibular joint with a dentist, perhaps some adjustment is needed.
Reply:Wear a mouth guard. It helps you to not grind your teeth at night. You can go to a sport outlet store i'm pretty sure.
Reply:They actually make a mouth guard type thing designed for people who grind your teeth. I was having jaw problems a few years ago and my dentist told me it was because I was grinding my teeth in my sleep and gave me one, which I wore for a couple of months and now I don't do it. When you're awake you just have to be concious of you're doing it and make yourself stop. But really the mouth guard is great it retrains your mouth not to do it.
Reply:Teethgrinding is related to other things ---anger, gallbladder issues, and one of them could be parasites.

My partner keeps grinding her teeth when watching TV or when she's relaxed. Why do people do this?
Bruxism is basically a subconscious habit often made worse by stress but not always.
It can be nocturnal or daytime.
The usual treat is by a bite raising applaince or a splint ( Both are basically a type of orthodontic appliance. They can be made of either a hard or a soft material.)
They prevent damage to the teeth and the jaw joint.
Prolonged bruxism causes wear of the teeth and can cause jaw problems.
Best is to get your partner to see their dentist to get his level of bruxism assessed and if any treatment is necessary.
My partner keeps grinding her teeth when watching TV or when she's relaxed. Why do people do this?
Must be stress. Must be your fault, then. Isn't everything your fault anyway?
But seriously, stress is a big reason for daytime grinding. There may be something misaligned with her bite, though, and it's worth asking your dentist (or hers) about this. Maybe not at a separate visit, but at least bring it up at her next check-up.

Reply:People tend to grind their teeth while sleeping. This is fairly common, although some may never grind their teeth at all. I recommend that they let their general dentist know so that something can be done. The teeth can be damaged, cause severe pain, and not let you sleep at night
Reply:tips to 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.

Correction, teeth grinding is a side effect for extacy, and yes, ritalin and speed have a similar chem compound. As for the question, talk to your doctor about a ritalin alternative, ritalin has why to many negative side effects. I beleive adderal ( im not 100% sure) would be the best alternative.

If you stop grinding your teeth will sensitivity to cold stop on its own or do i need to seek treatment?
I'm assuming you're relatively young. So grinding of teeth would not usually occur without a reason, and a nightguard may not be useful.
Has your dentist confirmed that your grinding habit is significantly wearing away your teeth? The enamel on teeth is extremely strong.
If your teeth are wearing down, then how much plain water do you drink? Or do you mostly have acidic drinks like sodas, juices, sports drinks,... These are the most common cause of sensitivity in young people, and a major factor in grinding.
If so, then cut out acidic drinks for 2 WEEKS, and try the GC Mousse above as suggested. You may also try Sensodyne toothpaste. If this works, then you know where your problem arises.
If the sensitivity continues, then as a last resort a Root Canal Therapy of hypersensitive teeth is required. But your dentist needs to examine all other possibilities first.
If you stop grinding your teeth will sensitivity to cold stop on its own or do i need to seek treatment?

Reply:people usually grind their teeth in their sleep. you probably won't just stop doing it on your own. i use a tooth guard/appliance that just suctions on to my two front top teeth and i don't grind my teeth anymore.
i didn't have sensitivity but i was getting headaches, and i don't get as many anymore.
Reply:A few years ago I was grinding my teeth incessantly no matter the weather. I consciously grabbed hold of myself and said, "Stop it. Just STOP IT". I did. No treatment. Good luck.
Reply:The damage is probably already done. What really helps with sensitivity is "GC Tooth Mousse" its a paste that you put over your teeth at night. It makes teeth stronger, healthier etc! also at night after brushing put some tooth paste on your finger and put it on the tooth. Leave it there so it works while you sleep. This will help, hopefully.
Reply:Grinding your teeth and sensitivity to cold are two separate issues. The sensitivity will only increase if you ignore it. Next will come sensitivity to hot as well as cold. Next will come non-stop pain and a root canal or tooth extraction. Go see a dentist sooner rather than later. After the dentist has taken c/o the sensitive tooth, you can ask about the grinding problem. He'll most likely suggest a guard to break you of the habit. But don't wait-see a dentist now or you'll have more pain in the future.

Ive been grinding my teeth all night for a while. mouth gaurds drive me crazy. what should i do?
and DONT tell me to lay off the drugs or any of that cause im not on any. seriously, my head hurts so bad in the morning and im sure my enamal is being worn down.
Ive been grinding my teeth all night for a while. mouth gaurds drive me crazy. what should i do?
You really do need the mouth guards and I know what you are talking about with the pain. I can only answer your questions with what I know is my problem is and mine is anxiety. I get anxious and when I'm sleeping, I am at my most venerable and most relaxed, that is when it comes out. Sometimes I either have panic attacks in my sleep, grind my teeth or have nightmares. Go back to the dentist and have the guards adjusted to fit your mouth a little better if they are really bothersome. If you could have the problem that I have, maybe you should go see a doctor and try to get the anxiety under control. I went through all the pain medication and migraine medicine before I found out what was really causing the problem. I think its something to think about. I never would have thought about anxiety with teeth grinding!
Reply:Talk to your dentist about alternate things to use.. most likely you will have to get a mouth guard.. but also maybe reduce stress/tension in your life, talk therapy, take up yoga, or something to relieve stress so that you can be more relaxed.. that usually helps with teeth grining for the mean time ask your dentist about getting the most comfortable fitted mouth guard that you can.--- no need for early dentures!
Reply:Are you stressed out? Most of the time when people grind their teeth it's because of stress. Look into some relaxation techniques... some may sound a bit fruity, but they really work.
Reply:i do the same thing. i am going to see about braces.
Reply:The mouth guards take some getting used to, but once you do it'll be hard to sleep without one. I've been using them for three years and have to say that after the initial akward stage, they're really helpful.
Reply:Your dentist may be able to provide you with a thinner mouth guard. I used to use my bleaching trays which are a lot thinner than a true nightguard. They will have to be replaced more often, but it is a lot more comfortable than the bulky nightguards. There really arent many other options out there. Most grinding is caused by stress, you may look into ways to alleviate some of the stress in your life. Good luck!!
Reply:Id go to a dental specialist (orthodontist) and ask them. I wore braces as a teenager and they fitted me for a retainer for night time--the plastic kind not metal, and I still wear it. Its durable because ive had it for years and I still grind my teeth. The wear and tear on it after all this time is miniscule.

What does grinding your teeth in your sleep mean ?
It can become serious go to your dentist and get a gum guard there are quite a few reasons which can make you do it, a gum guard will only protect your teeth only it can lead to other problems like TMJ, I suffer from this and am awaiting a jaw replacement(check my questions) only I am a severe case and am taking maximum amount of pain relief even then the pain never goes away only dulls it, I can't chew so my diet is restricted everything minced, I'd love a steak or a chop only can't even an apple can't be bitten, so try to get it dealt with now before it becomes a serious problem. Good luck

I used to grind my teeth every night and it drove my sisters nuts. The Doctor found the cause in two minutes flat. I had a small blockage
in my nose after it was removed no more grinding hope that helps you and good luck.
Reply:Whatever the cause is, I would recommend a trip to the dentist. Grinding your teeth will damage them plus you can chip the front edges which would require expensive cosmetic work.
You dentist will make you a shield that you wear over your upper or lower teeth in bed of a night. It only takes a night or two to get used to it but it's worth it.

It's often a sign of stress.....it's not good, tho.
Reply:Probably some nervous condition.
Reply:stress , worries %26amp; anxiety
Reply:It usually means that you are stressed a lot, if it doesn't stop you need to go to the doctor and get a spepcial mouth gard, because my brother used to do it a lot and ground his wisdom teeth in and he had to have them surgically removed.
Reply:There is a name for it but I cannot remember it. However I do the same thing and I have been told by my dentist that it is only bad if you are grinding down your teeth. But many people do this and some think it is do to stress or anxiety.
I really do not know at this point and I do not think that anyone else does either.
Reply:Usually that you are stressed out, you can get a guard from your dentist so you don't ruin your teeth. I used to do this as well, and my jaw clicks all the time now.
Reply:I do this alot, my dentist said stress. I notice I do it if I have a really BAD day at work or my kids are driving me batty! I broke 2 of my molars doing this. i have since gotten a mouth guard and hopefully wont have anymore injury. When I would wake up after a night of doing this, my jaws and teeth would really hurt! Some times my cheeks as well if I bit them really hard!
Reply:you are stressed, i do it and now wear a hard night splint and it is working
Reply:It is called bruxism, i am having treatment for it at the moment, all to no avail, you may try a gumshield nightguard but that may encourage you to clench harder but it is worth a try, you could also try hypnotherapy to learn how to relax, that didnt work for me either, or you could try a muscle relaxant ie a chinese herbal medicine or something stronger like tamazapam, that also hasn't worked, lots of people say it is stress but ive never really been a stressed out kind of person, so i would have to disagree, i have also heard botox helps so i am going to give that a go in a few weeks.
Reply:Stress or habit, or both
Reply:If the bite is wrong due to caps / dentures you will grind teeth in trying to get a comfortable position of the jaw.

My 10 month old is grinding his teeth horribly!!?
He grinds nearly all day. Someone told me to give him Baby Tylenol since he's teething but I don't want to drug him all the time. It sounds horrible! Any suggestions of what to do?
My 10 month old is grinding his teeth horribly!!?
Ugh.. I remember that phase. Our son was 9/10 months when he started grinding his teeth. It lasted about 2 weeks and then suddenly stopped. Have you noticed that your son finds a new sensation or sound and does/says nothing but that for a couple weeks and then stops?
Reply:u should hurry up and try to stop him because my baby brother did that and all his teeth slanted to the side
Reply:Teething? I think that's normal, I'm no mom, but my niece did it, and she is fine
Reply:My 17 month does that also. We took him to the dentist, and she told us that it is normal, but if he does it still when he is 6 or 7, that it might be a problem.
Reply:Be patient. He will stop. If he is in pain I agree to give him a bit of Tylenol if he really needs it but basically if he is grinding he probably just enjoys the sound and the feeling even though it drives you nuts. When you hear him grinding if you can (its hard he is only 10 months) is gently squish his cheeks and tell him stop that. Maybe it will work. Or give him a toy to chew on.
I know how annoying that sound is!
Reply:Stop him while you can, it can completely ruin your teeth, and trust me, when he grows up, thats the last thing you would want for him, and if you think letting him take tylenol is like drugging him, dont worry your not, it is for his benefit.
Reply:There is toy, made available for baby that has such a problem, get to supermarket and find out, all you need to do is wash it regularly for the baby, whenever the baby want to use it. The baby will put it in is mouth and chew, grinds and feel better. it is meant for baby teeth.
good luck.
Reply:I had the same problem with my son when he was about that age. I even went as far as calling the dentist. The dentist said it was very normal for babies to do that when they get their teeth. It's just their way of exploring what's all of a sudden growing in their mouth.

Is grinding your teeth at night caused by drinking to much pop?
if not what is it caused from?
Is grinding your teeth at night caused by drinking to much pop?
usually it's caused by stress related issues; you can have your dentist fit you with a device that will save your teeth from becoming broken, cracked, weak or whittled down to nothing!
Reply:yes
Reply:stress
Reply:No.It's a nervous reaction.
Reply:I don't think so. More likely stress. But too much pop is going to wear down your teeth way worse than grinding them. Bacteria that lives on your teeth EATS sugar................ you're feeding it.
Reply:I believe teeth grinding is usually caused by stress, but it is more likely caused by an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth. I don't think pop drinking has anything to do with it.
Reply:no, it's from being so stressed
Reply:No...it is caused by repressed tensions from your day or your lack of sleep from drinking soda before going to bed...or a nervous habit. They make retainers you can put in your mouth to prevent this...as you will eventually grind your teeth down.
Reply:some people just do that. and yes some things you take or injest make you grind your teeth. they gave my Mom a mouth piece to wear at night
Reply:No, it is not caused by drinking too much soda pops. According to my dentist (since I grind my teeth badly) grinding happens due to mis-alignment of the jaw, or feeling restless and tense while you are sleeping. I am supposed to wear a mouth guard at night, but hate that thing. This mouthguard is similar to the ones worn by athletes to protect their teeth during contact sports.
Reply:No...It's stress related. Mouthguards work great for this.
Reply:Nope. its better to see ur dentist regarding this. this habit is called bruxism n it can cause attrition of ur teeth which is wearing down of the teeth. bruxism can lead to TMJ problems n increased sensitivity due to attrition. so its better to seek the advice of ur dentist n get a mouth guard to prevent problems.

How do i stop grinding my teeth?
well i don't really grind...it's more of a click click click.... i do it when i'm nervous or have asong in my head,
How do i stop grinding my teeth?
The only way that I know of is with a bite splint. They now sell them in drug stores. It looks like a mouth piece that a sports person wears, but it does help you stop grinding.
I grind my teeth at night and I clench my jaw during the day. I had a bite splint made for me, but I know that you can now get them at drug stores. I ground my teeth so bad I ended up with TMJ, that painful joint problem in your jaw. My jaw locked and I could not open my mouth that far, it was awful.
Reply:you can chew gum or nibble on your tongue (not too hard though)
Reply:i do it also, get a mouth guard
Reply:See your dentist and get a mouth/bite guard.
Reply:candy candy candy
Reply:I do the same thing. A mouth guard helps. Get one from the dentist or one that's mold able to your teeth from the drugstore. Sugarless gum can help, gummy candy or licorice.

How do I stop grinding my teeth at night?
I have a fractured tooth and am experiencing jaw pain and I feel certain they are related. I cannot afford to see a dentist. I have medical insurance but no dental. Thanks for any suggestions!
How do I stop grinding my teeth at night?
Yes you can get a gum guard it will only protect your teeth it won't stop you grinding your teeth. Check out TMJ.com and you will get lots of info on the damage it can cause. The Americans are more up to date with all of this and I have found out loads. If you check my questions you will see how bad I am with my jaw. Please get it checked out it can lead to other problems, I live in the UK good luck An update only was thinking if you see your dentist and are told that it is a jaw problem then it no longer is a dental problem but a jaw problem and that becomes medical so you may be covered by your medical insurance it's worth checking out
Reply:I hope it continue's to help you and may God bless you also for your good wishes. Thank you Report It
Reply:ask your doctor if he can make you a mouth guard or recommend a medical specialist. this could be medical it if is affected the jaw.
Reply:You need some sort of mouth card (or a night guard) to protect your teeth from grinding when you bite down during sleep. I had the same issue as you.
Reply:go to the drug store and get one of these mouth gaurds that you put in your mouth at night so you cant clench your teeth so hard.
Reply:ask your dentist for a guard he know what that mean,
Reply:I'd go to either a sports store or somewhere where you can buy a mouth guard. Wearing that at night will stop you from grinding your teeth. Also look for one that says on the package TMJ.
Reply:my dentist told me to just buy a sports mouth guard from a sporting goods store. He said that it is pretty much the same thing that any dentist would give you to wear at night.
Reply:Buy yourself a mouthpiece at the sporting goods store. They make them so that when you place them in boiling water, they become pliable, so you can mold them to your own teeth, and when it cools it stays that way. I've heard of many dentists recommending this.
You'll have to see a dentist about the fractured tooth, though.
Reply:I had the same problem, try the Night Guard for your teeth. Also try drinking a combo, Camomile, Hops, Blueberry tea at night; the non-caffinated, relaxing tea actually helps alot.
Reply:u can use mout guard,, if u delay tusing mouth uard ur jaw pain will continue. beter u use it as soon as possible.
Reply:Grinding teeth at night could be triggerd by some psychological factors. You could be having some problems and you cant get to a restful sleep. Too much activities during daytime could also trigger such unconscious behaviour. Try to evaluate your lifestyle and if everything else is OK, then you may proceed to have the "mouthpiece". Goodluck!!
Reply:You are having worm infection in your gut. It will surprise you but it is fact. Take Albendazole with purgative at bed time, repeat it after 15days. You will be all right.
Reply:I grind my teeth at night and i've been doing it for as long as my doctor can remember.
Sometimes I wake up with the worst jaw pain ever. So my doc reccommended that I use a mouth guard for my uppers at night.
I just bought one at the local sporting goods store and besides the fact that I look like im about to go into a boxing match, it works.
I also would buy two depending on how hard you grind your teeth.

Reply:I hope it continue's to help you and may God bless you also for your good wishes. Thank you Report It
Reply:ask your doctor if he can make you a mouth guard or recommend a medical specialist. this could be medical it if is affected the jaw.
Reply:You need some sort of mouth card (or a night guard) to protect your teeth from grinding when you bite down during sleep. I had the same issue as you.
Reply:go to the drug store and get one of these mouth gaurds that you put in your mouth at night so you cant clench your teeth so hard.
Reply:ask your dentist for a guard he know what that mean,
Reply:I'd go to either a sports store or somewhere where you can buy a mouth guard. Wearing that at night will stop you from grinding your teeth. Also look for one that says on the package TMJ.
Reply:my dentist told me to just buy a sports mouth guard from a sporting goods store. He said that it is pretty much the same thing that any dentist would give you to wear at night.
Reply:Buy yourself a mouthpiece at the sporting goods store. They make them so that when you place them in boiling water, they become pliable, so you can mold them to your own teeth, and when it cools it stays that way. I've heard of many dentists recommending this.
You'll have to see a dentist about the fractured tooth, though.
Reply:I had the same problem, try the Night Guard for your teeth. Also try drinking a combo, Camomile, Hops, Blueberry tea at night; the non-caffinated, relaxing tea actually helps alot.
Reply:u can use mout guard,, if u delay tusing mouth uard ur jaw pain will continue. beter u use it as soon as possible.
Reply:Grinding teeth at night could be triggerd by some psychological factors. You could be having some problems and you cant get to a restful sleep. Too much activities during daytime could also trigger such unconscious behaviour. Try to evaluate your lifestyle and if everything else is OK, then you may proceed to have the "mouthpiece". Goodluck!!
Reply:You are having worm infection in your gut. It will surprise you but it is fact. Take Albendazole with purgative at bed time, repeat it after 15days. You will be all right.
Reply:I grind my teeth at night and i've been doing it for as long as my doctor can remember.
Sometimes I wake up with the worst jaw pain ever. So my doc reccommended that I use a mouth guard for my uppers at night.
I just bought one at the local sporting goods store and besides the fact that I look like im about to go into a boxing match, it works.
I also would buy two depending on how hard you grind your teeth.

My cat is grinding his teeth and turning his head sharply to one side, what should I do???
He started doing this a day or two ago, but it seems to be increasing in frequency. It almost looks as though something is stuck in his mouth, but when I open his jaw I don't see anything. He also growls and refuses to be touched while it happens. Tooth pain, maybe?? I am thinking I should be taking him to the vet, but any advice before then would be appreciated.
My cat is grinding his teeth and turning his head sharply to one side, what should I do???
Sounds like he has a fish bone stuck in his mouth that is getting festered and causing him pain.
If not that then he has an infected tooth causing him pain.
Another possible cause is he has gotten bitten by something like a spider or wasp in his mouth.
Whatever it is sounds like a trip to the VET is in order for him.
Reply:Get him to the vet ASAP! Cats don't show severe illnesses until it's too late. Sadly, I know this from firsthand experience.
Reply:Well to me it sounds like a seizure. I recommend taking him to the vet asap to make sure. It may be nothing at all, but you should get it checked out just in case. I hope he gets better!
Reply:Sounds like he might have ear-mites or could have a bad tooth. I had a cat that act like that and she had fluid in the ear just like a bad cold. So I would look in the ear if he will let you. If not taake him to the vet.
Reply:I agree with Tia it sounds like a seizure. PLEASE get your cat to the vet ASAP it could be serious!

Grinding my teeth and NO im not a drug user!!!!?
just wondering if theres a reason people WHO ARE NOT USING DRUGS!!!!! do it
Grinding my teeth and NO im not a drug user!!!!?
I too have been grinding my teeth forever, the dentist made me a night guard, so i dont compleatly grind them all away. i have 2 that are shorter than the othres now %26amp; the more strss i had the more i'd do it. at night i didnt realize i was doing it. it contributes to tmj disorder somewhat too.
no , i'm not on drugs either.
Reply:i dont know i think its stress because i have been doing it since i was 3 and im 11 and of corse NOT DOING DRUGS to those RETARDS out there hope this helps!!!
Reply:Yes, it's called TMJ. You grind your teeth because of stress. It causes jaw pain, ear pain, and can really interfere with hearing. The treatment is to treat the causes of stress. Otherwise, a dentist can fit you with a mouthpiece to keep you from grinding your jaw too bad. For me, the best treatment was resuming my exercise routine, I started jogging and it went away.
Reply:doesnt matter
if you do it while you sleep, you might want to talk to a dentist about getting a retainer to stop your teeth from making contact with each other (as this will damage your teeth later on)

I've had this problem since i was a little one apparently...but my mom never thought of it as a problem...my boyfriend told me about it recently..and I have a dentist's appointment in about a week...any idea what they'll do?

Reply:They can make you a night guard so you won't damage your teeth.
Reply:they will give u a mouth guard similar to a foootball ,boxing one.
Reply:They will probably just fit you with a mouth guard to wear at night to prevent your teeth from being worn down. It is not a big deal - in fact you can buy the kits to make your own over the counter at most drug stores.
Reply:How awful...my niece does that....go see a psychologist...
Reply:Give you a gum shield. Very attractive. What's worrying you?
Reply:I had the same problem, but it could be a number of things. Cliche, but I think it was mostly stress for me because it went away. I went to the dentist and one told me I needed to remove a tooth in the back because there wasn't enough room. It had just recently started, I never had the problem that I know of as a child. So your case may be different. And also if its persistent, they will suggest the mouth guard to wear at night...But again, it went away on its own.
Reply:my sister as the same problem,the dentist made her a mouth guard to sleep in to which she cannot
Reply:i think the exorsict grinded her teeth too, so they probably bring a bible and tie you down to a chair:)
Reply:I think this indicates anxiety or stress because I get that too but only when I'm under too much pressure. They have special braces made for it to be put on before you sleep to prevent any damage to the teeth.

Reply:What is bruxism? Bruxism (pronounced BRUK-sizm) is the technical term for forcible grinding and clenching of the teeth. It usually happens at night, during sleep, although some people grind their teeth during the day as well. People who suffer from bruxism may also bite their fingernails or pencils, or chew the insides of their cheeks.
How common is bruxism? About half of US adults grind their teeth at night, and about 20% (over 40 million people) grind their teeth in a destructive way. Most people who grind their teeth are over 25 years old, and the disorder affects women and men about equally. Children also grind their teeth, but usually in response to discomfort caused by colds, ear infections or allergies. Most cases of bruxism in children resolve on their own without causing tooth damage or other problems.
What causes bruxism? Bruxism can have a variety of causes, but the most common are probably emotional factors such as daytime stress, anxiety, anger, pain and frustration. Certain sleep disorders can trigger grinding of the teeth as well. People who are competitive, aggressive, and rushed may also be at greater risk for bruxism. Lastly, alcohol and some types of medications may worsen tooth grinding.
Why bruxism can be a serious problem: When you chew your food, your deliver a force of about 175 pounds per square inch (psi) to your teeth. But when you grind your teeth at night, there's no food to absorb the impact, so the force on your teeth can be 300 psi or more. That's enough to cause permanent damage to your teeth, including cracked and chipped enamel, hairline fractures, and even wearing down of the teeth to the gumline. The enamel may become so worn that the inside of the tooth (called the dentin) is exposed. If bruxism isn't treated, it can lead to gum damage, loss of both natural teeth and restorations, and other more complicated jaw-related disorders (such as temporomandibular joint disorders). Over time, your teeth may become sensitive due to exposed dentin, and your jaws may even move out of proper balance. Grinding your teeth can also cause a wide variety of other symptoms including soreness and fatigue in your jaw and facial muscles, and earaches or headaches-especially when you wake up in the morning. There is no known cure for bruxism. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce or stop your grinding and even ways to limit further damage and pain due to grinding.
What Can I Do to Stop Grinding My Teeth?
Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard to protect your teeth 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.

As to why your mom may be a drunk and your family may grind its teeth, check out www.hufa.org. It may be your mom has hypoglycemia. That can cause a lot of problems that can make life more stressful than it needs to be (including the teeth grinding). Since I have gotten my blood sugar under better control (including the yeast thing which has a link at that same site), it appears that I have stopped grinding my teeth.

Does anyone know how i can go about getting my 3yr old daughter to stop grinding her teeth?
she does it when she sleeps mostly and lately i've noticed she does it when she is awake (not as often as when she sleeps though). help me!! she's too little to damage her teeth.
Does anyone know how i can go about getting my 3yr old daughter to stop grinding her teeth?
You need to get her to a dentist, teeth grinding is Bruxism and is a nonfunctional habit..They sell something over the counter now called night guard but she may be to young for it.. I would ask the dentist if there is any alternitive..Teeth grinding can cause cracked teeth, loose teeth,and can even lead to jaw muscle or joint problems..
Reply:take her to the dentist they can fit her for a device that will stop the damage to her teeth. when shes awake pop her mouth. i do that with my son who is also three he doesnt do it at night
Reply:I would take her to a dentist. Most of the time they will fit you for a night guard, but Im not sure if they do that for little ones though... Not 100% though. It's always worth a try. I have to wear one, and they do help, you don't stop grinding your teeth, but it helps protect your teeth.
Reply:My daughter does the same thing, she is 2 years old. I ask her to stop and she will, most times. I often find her doing it when she eats as well. She will stop it and grow out of it. Don't be surprise when you take her to the dentist for the first and the dentist ask, "Did she ever grind her teeth" They can tell because the tops of her teeth will be smooth sort of.
Reply:my husband had this problem. He went to see the doctor and they gave him a mouth guard to sleep with. He used it for about two months and he doesn't grind his teeth anymore.
Reply:give her something to chew on or suck on that way her mouth will be occupied by that
Reply:I'm 21 and Ive been grinding my teeth when I sleep since I've had teeth. Some people say she will grow out of it, but she probably wont. She may be stressed out or having nightmares. I grind my teeth when I have bad dreams or are too hot or too cold at night. You can buy night guards to protect her teeth because it -will- cause damage. If you have the money, talk to a dentist. You can also get this thing called TMJ...its a jaw problem thats caused from grinding. You can help by keeping her room at a decent temperature, maybe give her a bath at night to relax her, use some chamomile, lavender bubble bath, read her a story so she's calm before she goes to bed, keep a night light on too. Try to keep her room clean. She will sleep better in a clean room. I know thats hard since she's 3! Good luck!
Reply:Apparently, she is still teething. My mother says I did that until I was 6. What she did with me was she gave me a rubber teething ring and put Ora-jel on my teeth. Sometimes I would just grind my teeth because I liked the way it felt so my mom showed me a picture of what would happen if I kept grinding my teeth when I went to the dentist. Now I have to get braces because I have an overbite because I grinded my teeth.
Reply:My dr. said its a phase and to ignore it. If you cause attention to it when she does it while awake, she may keep doing it. The doc was right. My daughter no longer grinds. Just try to ignore.
Reply:take her to the dentist and have a mouth gaurd made for her!!!!!
Reply:Some times grinding can be caused by stress. Is something diffrent in the house or a routine changed. If so try to confort her on the issue. There is also the possibility that she could still be teething. I know with a 3 year old its hard but try to ask her whats bothering her. I have heard that at this young of an age grinding really won't damage their teeth. But if the grinding doesn't stop the dentist can give you a mouth peice to stop her from grinding her teeth.

How difficult is it to get used to a guard to prevent a person from grinding their teeth at night?
I also clinch my teeth during the say..what can i do to prevent this? a quard?
How difficult is it to get used to a guard to prevent a person from grinding their teeth at night?
Teeth grinding is part of sleep apenea test.
The neurologist can do it! Neurologists will prescribe some medications based on the sleep study report.
Dentists can't be any help in the long run! But a neurologist can control the brain chemical reaction to stop teeth grinding!
Reply:Doesn't take too long, I just find the first 5 minutes is a bit irritating but after that I'm fine. I sometimes wonder about wearing my guard during the day as well but haven't done it yet....especially since you can't really wear it anywear but at home.
Reply:go to your local orthodontist. they can make up a guard that is slimline (i wear one) you get used to it within 2 or 3 nights. i dont even notice mine anymore... it is fantastic.
Reply:I also wear a dental guard, because I am a gnasher too. At first, they are uncomfortable, but you do get used to them, and in the long run, they save your teeth.
Reply:A lot depends on the person. If you're a heavy sleeper, who normally falls asleep quickly, it probably wouldn't take long. If you're one of those people who starts thinking when you lay down, it would probably be easy to spend hours paying attention to the piece of plastic in your mouth.
Reply:If you have a strong gag reflex you might not be able to. I have tried, but gag whenever there is something in my mouth.
But, it is definitely worth it to try to deal with this situation before it becomes a problem. At age 40 I needed to have all my top teeth capped because my bite had shrunk several millimeters - and now my lower teeth have worn through the enamel, so I am looking at crowning several there.

Reply:Have your Friend go to the dentist and get a night Guard. they will make a mold of her teeth and make a thick guard for her to wear. Does she do it mostly at night or while she is awake? This guard is usually thick and a bit bulky. I wear one myself at night. But by wearing one at night It has made me more conscious of when I am clenching my teeth in the day time. Does your friend's jaw hurt or does she get real bad head aches? I did. This has really helped me. Good luck

DO NOT GET A BITE APPLIANCE MADE FOR A YOUNG CHILD!!!
I can not state emphatically enough that you should never, ever consider getting (or making) an appliance to stop tooth grinding in a five year old. This would stop proper growth and development of the jaw where the appliance is worn.
It is my opinion that baby teeth are designed to be worn away as the jaws grow and develop. This allows for different growth rates and it allows for the accommodation of the permanent teeth with their much more pronounced cusp forms when they start to come in.
You may wish to ask your dentist to check for underlying problems, but 99% of the time - if not more - this is just part of being a five year old.
Reply:get her a mouth guard and then figure out what's stressing her into grinding her teeth.
Reply:Talk to your dentist. They can recommend something to stop your child from grinding.
Reply:Yes, it can damage the teeth. A mouth guard will help protect the teeth. This often occurs when people are stressed, so find out why she is stressed. Also call your dentist for advice. Good luck!
Reply:a good way 2 prevent this is 2 possible forcibly keep her mouth open but seeing that thats not going 2 b a feesable idea you could give her a lollie to cuk on for a while or put cotton between her teath and the habit should pass after a while so u shouldn't have 2 worry 4 2 long
Reply:Do not do anything! If you use a mouth guard it will prevent the further growth of her jaw. Your dentist will tell you ths same thing, for someone that young.

My cat woke up with a very different meow. Its raspy, sometime seems like her teeth are grinding.?
im sorry
My cat woke up with a very different meow. Its raspy, sometime seems like her teeth are grinding.?
Your cats throat may be a little dry so try giving it some water and see if it helps
Reply:That happens on occasion with my cat, after she first wakes up. It'll be a squeaky-raspy meow or two but once she's able to get a drink and wake up completely it goes back to normal. Was this just after she woke up or has she continued doing it all day? Is she drinking and eating normally? She could be experincing pain in her teeth/throat. I would monitor her for tonight and see if she's otherwise normal and if the meow still sounds different tomorrow consider taking her for a checkup. Better safe than sorry.
Reply:If it keeps on happening you could call a vet and ask for their opinion. Twice when i called the vet the nurse there gave me great advice.

How do I stop my 11 month old from grinding her teeth?
She just got some new teeth and some people say that she'll stop when she gets used to them...but I can't stand it!! I've given her chew toys, pop sicles and anything I could think of for her to chew on and that helps a little but she loses interest fast. What do you suggest I do?
How do I stop my 11 month old from grinding her teeth?
To be honest I do not think there is anything you can do . It is just a kid thing.Good Luck
Reply:Well, she's just teething. Once she gets older it will stop but for now that's how it's going to be.
Reply:I used to have this problem when I was 11 years old, not 11 months old. I think the solution can be the same, however. My dentist suggested I go to an orthodontist to get a bite guard to sleep with at night. It worked, and it was scary how I ground that one- gave it a nice crack in the middle. I had to get another one.
She may be little, but I'm pretty sure they could get one for her. Also, don't worry about her choking. There is noooo way. See what a pediatric dentist would say!
Reply:She will stop eventually. Having teeth is a cool new experience for baby. You're doing all the right things. When mine have gotten bored with the usual chew ons, sometimes they've chewed on the furniture. Uncle always suggested giving baby a big piece of well cooked, tough steak or roast. It's got some flavor to it. Just keep an eye on them while they have it.
Reply:Get her a leather doggie bone to chew on.
Reply:My five year old grinds his teeth in his sleep. I've talked to a pediatric dentist about it and, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. Hang in there and she will outgrow it. It probably just feels and sounds interesting to her right now. I do sympathize. To me the sound is worse than fingernails on a chalk board!
Reply:Bruxism (a.k.a. teeth grinding) grinding is fairly common in young kids, who eventually outgrow it. You might mention it to your dentist when you take your kid in, but I wouldn't worry about it
Specific tips to help a child stop grinding his or her teeth include the following:
Decrease your child’s stress, especially just before bed.
Try massage and stretching exercises to relax the muscles.
Make sure your child’s diet includes plenty of water—dehydration may be linked to teeth grinding.
Ask your dentist to monitor your child’s teeth if he or she is grinds them.
No intervention is usually required with preschool-aged children. However, older children may need temporary crowns or other methods, such as a night guard, to prevent the grinding.

Reply:Her bite might be out of line or there may be something wrong with her jaw. TNJ can be painful and lead to more serious problems. I would bring her to a pediatric orthopedist or orhodontist to check to see if things are O.K.
I would ask her Dr for recomendations or go to a fully accredited University Hospital in your area.
In the meantime put her chew toys in the freezer this may help
Reply:try getting you some ear plugs. She may also know this bothers you so she is continuing to do it just to get a response. Children tend to get a response from parents and if they see it's a quick one for attention, not saying you don't give it to her, they will continue to do it to get what they want when they want it. like temper tantrums, dropseys, screaming, crying, kicking, hitting, ect... they are all there to get the parents to react to them. This is normal.

How can I get my 11-month-old baby to stop grinding his teeth?
It makes an awful noise, it has to be bad for his teeth, I dont know what to do to make him stop. I catch him doing it all the time. He has 2 bottom teeth and 4 top teeth, all in front.
How can I get my 11-month-old baby to stop grinding his teeth?
Our nine-month-old does this. We're sure its just his way of getting use to having teeth (he's working on number 10 already!), but we still try to keep him from doing it much. He's easy enough to teach, so we just touch his lips with our finger and say, "no, no" and he usually stops and goes back to playing. It's not exactly a novel aproach but I didn't want you to think I was just smarting off when I deal with this problem as straightforwardly as I do any of the undesirable behaviors our children exhibit. Tell him to stop.
Reply:you dont
Reply:His doctor can give him a special mouthpiece to wear while he is alseep. Grinding teeth can lead to other problems, like loss of enamel, migraine headaches,etc. So this is something that should be taken care of!
Reply:different places sell rubber guards that you can wear to keep from grinding your teeth down. talk to his dentist for details, but that sounds like what he needs.
Reply:He's just not use to the sensation of having teeth in his mouth. Eventually he'll outgrow it. It's just a phase so I wouldn't do anything about it, and plus there really isn't anything you can do when it comes to this sort of stuff. You just have to let him do it for awhile and eventually he'll get bored with it and he'll stop.
Reply:give him something to chew on
Reply:he will grow out of it but for piece of mind talk to your dentist and they will give you the best advice possible!!

Hi do you ever wake up finding yourself grinding your teeth together?
i do this SO much that my teeth are sore when i wake up. help!!
Hi do you ever wake up finding yourself grinding your teeth together?
Hi there,
Well chances are you're doing it because you're stressed about something. You can see your dentist about getting a night guard to help with that. The longer you let it go on the more problems you will have such as cavities, tmj, and even loosing teeth due to this problem. i wouldn't reccomend a sports guard only because they can't provide the support you need from clenching your teeth togher.
Reply:hubby does it.. you need to go to the dentist and get a mouthguard made... in the meantime you could buy a mouthguard from a sporting goods shop... one of the ones you heat and conform to your teeth... you don't want your teeth cracking b/c of this.
Reply:i have been doing it since i was a teen. they say it can be brought on more by stress. i don't remember being stressed at 13 though lol...
I got a mouth gard from the dentist but it was too bulky that i couldn't fall asleep with it in my mouth or i would spit it out in the night...
because of the griding my jaw now clicks from doing it all these years and i get sore when the weather changes.. also my teeth are hypersensitive.
Reply:Grinding at night is called Bruxism. This is generally caused due to stress. The are a few home remedies you can try.
1. Warm water rinses at night before before bed for at least 2 min.
2. Massaging of the muscles of mastication.
3. Hot packs over the muscles.
This will also help in relieving head aches which are caused by bruxism.
If this doesn't work you may need a splint made.eg MCI splint.
In some cases where it is just periodic stress episodes sedatives could be used
Good Luck

How to stop a 4yr old from grinding her teeth at night?
IIt sounds like she has marbles in her mouth. and it makes my teeth hurt just hearing it. is there anything i can do to stop this?
How to stop a 4yr old from grinding her teeth at night?
dont give the child ANY caffeine and or sugar it causing nocturnal bruxism, i.e grinding of the teeth i used to do and that was the cause of mine.
also stress is a huge factor in bruxism.
Reply:Yes. Go to the dentist or a drug store and get one of those things that football players wear, a mouthguard. It may not stop the pressing, but it provents the teeth from further damage. It is very bad for the teeth to do that when asleep.
Reply:I think you can have her fitted for a mouth guard at your dentist.
When I was this age I did the same thing so my mother and sister say. I shared a room with one of my sisters and she says sometimes she would plug my nose so I would open my mouth to breath! Isn't she mean? lol
I never had a mouth guard I just outgrew doing it I guess.
Reply:yes
tell her not to grind your teeth
Reply:I'm not trying to be disgusting or anything, but my daughter did this...and she had pin worms. Night is when they are active, and they can get them from anywhere. You might take her to the doctor and have that checked.

However, the Dentist I have right now are being maniacs. *rants*
You probably should look for a Dentist that does Payment plans if you haven't been to a Dentist in some time, just to make sure things are okay.
I have heard Dentist recommend some people and usually women to get Children's size. I would use a Mouth Rinse every night before you put it in to make sure nothing grows, some people might recommend something that is a Dangerous level of Fluoride that you are supposed to not Swallow while it's in your mouth, but Fluoride absorbs into your system through alot of things.. so it would just seep in even if you could prevent yourself from swallowing in your sleep.
Last time I was at the store I noticed Mouthguards and they were 25-30 dollars, I hear they are 50 dollars at stores that are ripoffs and 8-15 in areas where alot fo stores have them.
Reply:Wendy...I've had the same problem in the past. I think I've gotten through it (the stress), but I'm having to get crowns now at 57 because of worn enamel.
I want to address the message you are giving yourself "can't change because of poor health." You are setting this limitation for yourself. We are free beings unless we get stuck in creating our own limitations. Stress happens when you resist what is. Look at what you are resisting with your beliefs and determine to let these beliefs go. May you pass every test. ross

Does anyone know how I can stop grinding my teeth in my sleep?
i used to do that and so did my brother, so i got a gumshield. It worked but i dont know if i do it anymore or not. Your dentist should really prescribe you with one but mine never either. You can pick one up from any sports store for about 3 quid, you dont need an expensive one unless you like punching yourself in the face while you sleep too lol. Avoid sugar, have fruit instead and dont bite things you dont need to like your nails for eg the grinding will make your teeth really brittle and they will keep chipping! xx
