How can I stop grinding my teeth?

I don't think I do it when i'm sleeping, but durring the day I always notice that I CONSTANTLY do it. I like my teeth, I brush and floss everyday. I've never had a cavity, but I have a terrible habbit!





If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.\





P.S. I don't do speed.

How can I stop grinding my teeth?
Hah, I don't do speed but am prescribed to Adderal. I never would've thought that could indeed cause teeth grinding.





Anyway, they have night guards at Walmart, go pick one up. They have instructions on how to mold it to your teeth. Pretty simple and cheap.. way less than a bastard dentist charges. I have one too.. but maybe I should just lay off the amphetamines for a while ;)
Reply:You need to ask your dentist for a night guard when you sleep so you don't grind your teeth.
Reply:I agree with a night guard from Walmart. I dont suggest wearing it in public, lol but when you are home, watching tv, on the computer etc. My step son had this problem and we got him the guard. It would have worked if he would have used it more often. :)





They even make some nice sports type mouth guard these days too.
Reply:hmmm.. i grind my teeth too and the result of that is a bad jaw. so u better take care of that if u dont want to get brases for an overbite or a bad jaw. it may hurt. get a night gear.
Reply:Try chewing some gum. Or try going to webmd.com.





Hope this helps.
Reply:People often grind their teeth due to stress. There is no easy way to stop yourself from grinding your teeth, but it may help to do stress relieving activities such as yoga, breathing techniques or other types of exercise. I would also agree with the night guard. This will definately save your teeth as people who grind end up wearing down their teeth or even fracturing them.
Reply:lol...speed...people grind their teeth sometimes without noticing it. its kinda like a nervous habit. the dentist can make a guard for you, i say the dentist because the guards they make are made just for your mouth, the ones at the store do help dont get me wrong, but a personalized one would be much better. you could possiably grind them in your sleep if your grinding the during the day, go to your dentist and ask them
