Muscle relaxants for teeth grinding?
I have been given flexeril in the past, but it cannot be used for more than 3 consecutive weeks and a big break between... but it sure did give my jaw a break.
Reply:First, usually a bite splint is prescribed for bruxism (grinding). If that doesn%26#039;t ease the problem, a mild muscle relaxant or even a mild tri-cyclic anti-depressant may be prescribed to relieve the pressure/stress a patient is feeling and stop the pressure from being transferred to the jaw. Good luck to you!
Reply:You can wear a mouth guard thing. They%26#039;re at drug stores and walmart.
Reply:I haven%26#039;t heard of many muscle relaxants for teeth grinding but you can be fitted for a mouth guard or you can buy one


OTC from a drug store and you fit it using hot water.
Reply:I had a similar problem only I used to clench my teeth together. what the dentist does is make a sort of plaster mold of your mouth and they make a mouth guard that you put in your mouth at night. it works! they never said anything to me about muscle relaxants.
