Female indoor 9 mnth golden retriever pup grinds her teeth she%26#039;s been to the vet why would she be doing this?
Dogs teeth grinding?
Id be annoyed if they shoved a thermometer in my as-s too.
Reply:Teething hurts. It could be that, it could be any number of things. What did your vet say?
Reply:I think the x-raying of the jaw is the most logical thing to do. She could have some teeth not lining up, or something else going on with the jaw line. The next thing I would go with is something neurological causing the teeth grinding.
Other possible causes can be:
- gastroentestinal problem
- an inflamatory issue
Reply:thats what I thought when my daughter at seven was grinding her teeth....dogs get stressed too, they can also have jaw alighnment issues and teeth problems....the trouble isn%26#039;t why she is doing it but how to stop it if you even can.
Reply:You know, one of my shelties grinds his teeth too. But, he only does it when he is nervous or bored, I havent figured out how to get him to stop. Its just a habit of his. I would suggest maybe putting a tiny squirt of lemon juice in her mouth every time she does that (if hers is a habit like Aces, if its constant then x-rays are what I suggest) and eventually she will learn that whenever she grinds it makes a bad taste in her mouth. I honstestly have never figured out what Aces deal was... its just a nervous habit I guess..

Teeth Grinding during sleep, can anyone help pls?
My 6 yrs old son grinds his teeth quite intensely during sleeping in the night. Doctor has given him twice course of stomach worms but nothing came out.
can anyone help please.
Teeth Grinding during sleep, can anyone help pls?
I grind my teeth. It was due to stress. I got a night guard that I sleep with at night. If you can%26#039;t get one from the dentist (which you may need to for his size) you can get one from a drug store near the toothpaste, about $20.00.
Reply:Sorry, I am not convinced that it%26#039;s the best answer. Report It
Reply:Get those sports teeth guards. That helps with bruxism
Reply:They have %26#039;night guards%26#039; that are like the old retainers to help stop this grinding. Might have to check with his dentist and get one made. I never knew of stomach worms being associated with grinding!
Reply:See a dentist. They can fit him with a custom mouth piece to help reduce the grinding or at least the effect it has on his teeth.

Dogs teeth grinding and chattering?
My 4 year old dog grinds and chatters his teeth after smelling other animals and where they have been. I just took him to the vet 2 months ago and his teeth is fine.
Dogs teeth grinding and chattering?
It%26#039;s just their way of processing smells that they come across.. The Jacob%26#039;s organ in the roof of their mouth gives them more information on smells.
Reply:Most dogs do this.It%26#039;s how they smell the other animal%26#039;s scent.Cats will open their mouths and make a weird face.It%26#039;s normal.

Teeth grinding...why? Any cure?
I grind my teeth badly in my sleep. I know it%26#039;s not stress which is the usual excuse. Any ideas on a cure because I%26#039;ll have no teeth left before long!
Teeth grinding...why? Any cure?
A lot of dentists will swear and argue with you that you can%26#039;t make yourself stop, but my husband did. He used to grind his teeth in his sleep pretty bad. He stopped chewing gum through the day and consistently focused on not grinding or clenching his teeth. It took a couple months, but he%26#039;s pretty much stopped grinding. His dentist still doesn%26#039;t believe him. You just have to pick up and notice when you grind through the day. Your mind focusing on that and actively trying to stop the reflex will help trigger your mind to stop yourself while you sleep.
The night guards that dentists give you (around $500 if you have insurance) only prevent damage to your teeth from grinding, it does NOT prevent you from doing it. The grinding action can still lead to TMJ even with a guard.
Reply:speak to your dentist you can get a guard you wear at night to stop it
Reply:The only reason I know is stress. You might not think you are stressed but something deep down might be bothering you.
Reply:Talk to your dentist. There are inserts you can wear at night to help.
Reply:They actually make mouth guards you can purchase to wear at night that will keep your teeth aligned.
Reply:You will have to see your dentist. My other half and young son do it and it sounds terrible. You will be able to get a mouth guard. Good Luck.
Reply:Deal with the stress and especially anger in your life. Also you should have your dentist/doctor give you an TMJ screening to make sure that there isn%26#039;t a larger issue.
I have been a lifelong teeth grinder (bruxist). The only thing that seemed to help me with it was happiness and joy finally eroded whatever made me grind.
Reply:go to the dentist and talk to him/her about it. They have these retainers or whatever you call them you can put in your mouth when you go to sleep so you don%26#039;t grind your teeth. you could probably ask some store associate where they are in the store and theyll tell u
Reply:wear a gum shield to bed!
Reply:my husband grinds his teeth,its like running ya fingers down a chalk board,it goes through me,
he seems to do it worse...the week before his pay day,(i have no idea why)LOL.no honest,think it the idea of me spending money,heheh,
but he says hes done it since he was a kid,
so yes i agree with the answers on here,its stress,there is a medical term for it,
good luck with the teeth

Teeth grinding problem...?
My four year old son grinds his teeth in his sleep at night and I am afraid that he will damage his teeth. Is there a solution to stop this?
Teeth grinding problem...?
Night guards are not indicated for 4 year olds. There is not alot you can do for now, hopefully as he gets his permanent dentition he will discontinue the habit. Good Luck
Reply:go to the dentist%26#039;s and get a night gaurd. he can wear it all his life. that%26#039;s what i use.
Reply:I grind my teeth in my sleep also. it can be caused by several things (stress, medication, etc.)
I have calmed it down alot by wearing a mouthguard (mine is custom made because of the shape of my teeth, but many people can wear the standard ones you can find in a sports store that you mold yourself) to sleep, i take calcium (which eases the jaw pain in the morning), and try to reduce stress as much as possible.
I%26#039;d talk to his dentist though, i%26#039;m sure he can recommend something more specific for your son...especially because he%26#039;s a child and things may be different for children as far as treatment is concerned.
Reply:I use a mouthguard that my dentist made for me. It helps with the grinding.
Take your son to the dentist for a guard, they will customize it to his mouth and teeth.
Reply:as long as the teeth aren%26#039;t down to gum level he will be fine. some kids do this as a soothing type thing, like a pacifier.
once he is an adult and has all his adult, if he is still grinding then he can get a mouth guard.
from now till then you can buy the sports guard type ones at the store if he will even stand to have it in his mouth.
if he is 4, he should be seeing a dentist every 6 months so make an appointment.
Reply:put something that big in is mouth and let him chew on it like a
night guard

Teeth Grinding... What can you do about it?
I have been told by my boyfriend that I grind my teeth when I sleep. I am 21 years old. I have no idea how long I have been doing it or how bad it is. I do not have medical insurance so I cant go to a doctor. What exactly could this do to my teeth? What can I do about it? Thanks for your help!
Teeth Grinding... What can you do about it?
Teeth grinding is a cause of suppressed stress caused during the day.
The way it effects your teeth is that they get cracked and eventually break off.
I suggest you got to Sports Authority. They have these things ( Sorry I can%26#039;t remember what its called, but was recommended by my dentist for the same reason) which you put in your mouth when you go to bed. It%26#039;s made out of soft rubber material, so at night when you%26#039;re grinding it takes the pressure off your teeth.
Good luck!
Reply:Hi! My boyfriend is a teeth grinder. If you go to the dentist they can give you a %26quot;mouthguard%26quot; ( you probably can just pick one up at a sport store - it%26#039;s the same thing). This will help, with the sound and will not wear away your teeth!
Good luck :)
Reply:My dentist recommended that she could fit me with a mouth guard to wear when I sleep. My guess is if you don%26#039;t have money for that, try buying an athletic mouth guard? It can wear your teeth down, and also give you headaches.
Reply:look at a pharmacy for something called night guard. Silicon insert you put in your mouth at night to protect your teeth. ask the pharmacist.
Dentist will sell you but will cost much more.
Reply:It wears down your teeth and can increase your chances of cavities. If you go to a doctor he will give you a tray to wear at night so you don%26#039;t harm your teeth.
Reply:You can get a mouth guard at the store. These form to you mouth and prevent the upper and lower teeth from touching. You really should get this as grinding can cause your teeth to wear down, become loose, damaging not only the the teeth but gums as well.
Reply:If you keep doing it, over the years it can wear your teeth down and actually affect your appearance by giving you a weaker-looking jawline or chin. (I know because it happened to me...) Your dentist can fit you with an appliance to wear at night, or you can even buy cheaper versions in the toothpaste section of places like Target (but I think the ones the dentist makes are probably better, because they%26#039;re designed to fit your mouth correctly)
Reply:Till the time you are able to get psychological problem identified, custom (dentist) made mouthguard is the right solution for a long term protection to your teeth.

Teeth Grinding? What should I do?
I%26#039;m a terrible teeth grinder. I grind, I clench... My teeth are super sensitive, and recently, my right jaw is very, very sore. Everytime I try to chew on that side, my jaw kills! All the way up to my ear! It seems to lessen up if I force myself to chew on that side for awhile, but it goes right back to being sore.
What should I do? The dentist will just tell me to wear a bite splint, and I just can%26#039;t. I take it out in my sleep and don%26#039;t even realize it.
Teeth Grinding? What should I do?
I%26#039;ve treated many patients with similar symptoms. I am a Doctor of Chiropractic, and there is a special technique that is used by some chiropractors to help %26quot;TMJ%26quot; and grinding. Look at the website www.sorsi.com to find a doctor near you or go to my website at www.healinghandschiro.com.
Reply:Listen to your dentist! I avoided wearing a night guard and ended up needing not one but two crowns. Unless you have the most awesome dental insurance in the world, the inconvenience of a bite guard is not worth the multi-thousand-dollar expense. The type of night guard I wear fits snugly on my upper teeth so it won%26#039;t pop off while I sleep. Ask your dentist what your options are.
Reply:Sounds like TMJ, tembromandibular joint disorder. Get specially fitted for a guard, you won%26#039;t regret it later in life. Get treated for TMJ.
Reply:You probably have TMJ. I have the same problem. unfortunately, there%26#039;s not much you can do other than getting braces to reset your teeth alignment and if that doesn%26#039;t work, they can break your jaw %26amp; re-aligne it. Other than that, you have to get used of wearin a night guard and occassionally use a hot compress on your jaw. If you don%26#039;t like the night guard you have, try a different brand, they all fit differently. Maybe you%26#039;ll find one you like better.
Reply:You have to use a night guard/bite splint. People do tend to take them out of their mouths for a few days sometimes, but that will stop.
Reply:Dr. Sam is right on as usual. Have you ever tried wearing a night guard? If so, how many nights did you attempt to wear it? Was it a custom made guard? Many patients tell me that for about a week they woke up with the night guard out of their mouths but after that, it was no problem.
Reply:Just keep trying to wear ur niteguard. It is very important, you will end up needing more dental work in the future if you don%26#039;t wear it.
Reply:Take Dr Sam and Justine%26#039;s advice. I wear my nightguard and sometimes I do take it out during my sleep but it does help.
