How do i stop grinding my teeth in my sleep? just that ive wakened up with a really sore jaw?

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.

Get a mouth piece like a sport one and wear it while you sleep.

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: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!
