You can get a night guard made for you at the dentist or you can buy a cheaper one at the store.
Reply:Visit your dentist for a bite guard as soon as you can. Its possible to develop joint problems later in life if left untreated. Causes can be anything from stress, dreaming, or just general habit. I've ground my teeth in my sleep for years.
Reply:there are tooth covers that you can wear over your teeth. check with your dentist!
Reply:Yeah i have the same problem, i didn't even realise i did it til the dentist told me that my teeth have been ground down, but i haven't gotten any mouth guard for it.
Reply:What causes it is a condition known as TMJ syndrome--the treatment for it usually starts with a mouth guard you wear while you sleep to prevent teeth grinding. Other treatments may include pain medications, physical therapy, etc..


you can make an appt with your dentist to discuss your problem and options available--they may send you to an oral surgeon.


One suspected cause of TMJ is stress. You can learn more about it from the internet, library, etc.. Good Luck!

Reply:Remove your teeth and you will stop grinding!


I just couldn't help it.


If you are noticing a problem have a professional one made that is custom to your teeth. Their designed to protect your teeth as well as they position your jaw as to minimize the force you put on the joint itself. The drug store is a quick temporary fix, not a long term solution.
Reply:I grind my teeth when I am asleep also. Sometimes I wake up with my jaw clamped shut and biting down really hard. My dentist says that stress can make you do that and told me of certian shields you can get-but these have allready been explained in previous answers.I really should get one now.
