Snoring and Teeth Grinding, Please Help!?

My girlfriend snores and grinds her teeth almost every night, I am really not sure how to help her, but I am getting less sleep every night and I%26#039;m almost at wits end.....Please Help!

Snoring and Teeth Grinding, Please Help!?
For the teeth grinding she needs to get a dental gaurd to wear at night. For the snoring she should see the doc to rule out sleep apnea or some other cause of her snoring that is correctable.
Reply:that%26#039;s called tmj and yes her medical should cover it. Not dental is a medical problem not a dental thing.





Grinding or clenching the teeth, which puts a lot of pressure on the TMJ


Dislocation of the soft cushion or disc between the ball and socket


Presence of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the TMJ


Stress, which can cause a person to tighten facial and jaw muscles or clench the teeth.





It could possibly be causing it.
