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.

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: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.
