How can I prevent myself from grinding my teeth in my sleep?

This can't be the strangest idea, but get a boxers' mouth-guard....you'll only rub teeth against plastic then.

It'd work
Reply:Bite guard.
Reply:at walmart they have an item to prevent you from doing that. but you have to wear it its not like a pill or something.
Reply:I had this problem, and didn't even know it until I went to the dentist and he could tell. Without spending a large amount of money, you can fix this problem with a small purchase. Go to a Rite Aid, or CVS, or another pharmacy/retail store, and in the dental isle, there will be something called a "Doctors Night guard" It is in a white and blue box. It is a mouth guard to be worn at night, and comes in sizes xs-xl. It is comfortable, and flexible and soft.


Other then mouth guards there really is no way to prevent yourself from grinding in your sleep, as you can't wake up every time and stop yourself ya know? Good luck.
Reply:A mouth gaurd can help your teeth when you sleep. Ask your dentist to see if you can get one. It will help because if you don't your teeth will get shorter.
Reply:My sister-in-law has this same problem. She solved it by buying a sports gum guard at our local Wal-Mart. They're (obviously) found in the sports department, and really cheap! You just have to follow the directions on the packaging to make it fit your mouth, but it helps a lot! Plus, they're soooo much cheaper than the ones a dentist will make you get and do pretty much the same thing!





Hope that helped!

Reply:Your dentist can make you a personalized night guard, or you can go pick up a generic one up from walmart.
