Teeth grinding/tongue biting...?
Why do you think you couldn%26#039;t wear %26quot;one of those night guard mouth piece things?%26quot; Of course you could!





Consult your dentist. Mouth guards and bite splints come in all shapes and sizes. Some fit over all your teeth; some just fit to the front 4.





If you really want help with your problem, you should talk to your dentist who should be able to find a workable solution.





FYI: adjusting to something in your mouth is mostly about attitude. If you tell yourself you can%26#039;t, you won%26#039;t be able to.
Reply:put a sock in ur mouth, make sure its clean, ur teeth wont grind and ur tongue wont get bitten. i know it sounds bizarre but i think it cud do the trick
Reply:Consult a dentist. I also grind my teeth when I feel stressed. The stress is the reason
Reply:Go to your dentist- he can form a mouthpiece that you won%26#039;t even notice, and save your teeth from the wear- you can break them !!!! An RN...
Reply:The mouth guard is the only answer. It took me awhile to get use to it but just like everything else once it becomes a habit/part of your everyday routine you will not even notice you have it on.
Reply:get a night guard made by the dentist. we make very thin ones that go around your teeth. we charge $50, but i hear in the states it is $500. beyond that, if you have any mercury amalgam fillings, get them replaced. teeth grinding is one of the symptoms of mercury poisoning.
Reply:You should really try to wear a night guard. I know they aren%26#039;t ideal for comfort, but they are certainly worth it in so many ways. 1. Your teeth won%26#039;t wear down, therefore, you will save LOTS of money down the line 2. You won%26#039;t have jaw pain 3. Your husband will be able to sleep! If you can%26#039;t wear the night/occlusal guard, try wearing whitening trays (that are made by your dentist). That will at least lessen the sound and the wear on your teeth.
