superstix Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Does anyone else grind their teeth in their sleep every night? Any ideas for a cure? Every night as I'm falling asleep I'll clamp down and start grinding and sometimes it wakes me up. I've tried massaging my jaw, concentrating on relaxing it, etc. but as I slip unconscious it starts again. Thinking about hypnosis therapy, but I've always been a bit wary of such things.

superstix Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 they make delightful plastic things to put on so you just grind plastic instead of tooth i think. "delightful" isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe those things. Trying to avoid them. Anyone done hypnosis therapy? Does it ever work?

pylonbitch Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 if you have temporomandibular joint dysfunction (tmj), go to the dental hospital and get them to do electro muscular therapy on your jaw. i did it. totally cured me. oh wait. you live in the states. good luck.

Interesting, thanks for the insight. Yeah, I'll have to see if my insurance would cover that. quit the anti-depressants and you'll be fine. Not on any. *WATMM gasps simultaneously and stares* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I think people who grind their teeth at night are subconsciously/unconsciously employing a defense mechanism against stealth nighttime bonor insertion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Franklin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 first you need to figure out WHY you are grinding your teeth. stress is the most usual culprit but there are various other condition which might cause this. talk to your doctor and then to your dentist. they will help solve the underlying problem that teeth-grinding is a symptom of.

Guest Gary C Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I was really worried about this a few months ago. I would catch myself with a clenched jaw every so often. I don't think I really grinded them, but my teeth were becoming sensitive and sometimes I had dull aches and headaches. It may have coincided with quitting smoking, and it was most certainly stress related as I was being chased my banks and I had quit my job. I don't know where it went really. I did catch myself doing it again recently, but that's been the first time in about 2 months. I think it's just stress related really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uptown devil Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i do it too, but it's not contained to sleeping. i often notice it suddenly when i'm very involved in something, i.e. reading, or making music etc. it's bad enough where as my dentist has mentioned the effect it's had on my teeth. i'd very much like a cure that doesn't involve having some annoying plastic thing in my mouth all night. until then, i'll stick with the grinding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i used to grind away like a windmill around harvest time every night, it gave me TMD and once that developed i mostly stopped. TMD sucks worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
