Grinding teeth

[Floss-12]

Hi I was just wondering if anyone grinds their teeth when they are feeling anxious? It is something I’ve noticed I’m doing especially at night and it’s really annoying!

Thanks x

Hello

Yes I do and it can cause , jaw pain and headaches as well as waking you up in the night

The dentist can offer you a mouth shield to use at night , I know lot's that have them but even though I have been offered one many times as I have actually ground some of my teeth down over the years I could just not see me been able to sleep with one in but for a lot they help

Take Care x

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it does give me headaches and jaw pain. I might have to think about getting a mouth guard x

Your dentist when they are allowed will sort you out with one

My hairdresser has one , it is surprising how many of us have this problem

Hope you get it sorted soon x

Yes, I grind my teeth so much it has worn them right down. I have a shield from the dentist but I can't really get on with it. It makes me drool!

Thanks for your reply. I was worrying about it waring my teeth down. It also gives me headaches and jaw pain. I might have to think about trying a mouth guard x
