I just recently started grinding my teeth during the night and I want to stop it before it gets bad.
Does anyone know any tricks to stopping it without using a mouthguard?
Teeth grinding question?
As a grinder myself, I noticed a change in my sleeping habits, which then caused more stress, and aggravated my grinding. Set a curfew every night insuring at least 8 hours of sleep, and stick to it. If you find yourself staying up later, stop whatever you are doing, and go to bed. Also, turn all the lights off, the TV off, and the computer if you have them in your room. And don%26#039;t listen to loud music or anything that could rile you up. My dentist told me to take your tongue and try to touch it to the back of your mouth, then slowly open your mouth and close it (lightly tapping your bottom%26amp;top teeth together), so you exercise your jaw muscles. It does help, at least for me. Try to do like a couple sets of 10 repetitions, then fall asleep.

STRESS IS A COMMON CAUSE OF NIGHT GRINDING.
Reply:A mouthguard works very well, and keeps your jaw from getting damaged.
Reply:teeth grinding is a subconcious response to stress .....try destressing yourself
Reply:hi , since u say the grinding has started recently , it could be due to stress , only u can be a better master of you , so get rid of any worries first . secondly ,have u undergone any filings recently , any high points in these can cause grinding habit , teatment could be with some soft splints , u wont even feel that u r wearing , the nti system seems to be good , better consult ur dentist first , long time bruxism(night grinding) can give rise to jaw pain and t m j disosrder ..
