Geographic Tongue/Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Just wondering if many people suffer from teethgrinding or geographic tongue?

Also any tip on easing the conditions? Im in the process of waiting to get a diagnosis to find out if I'm on the spectrum, but just wondered if people on the spectrum sufferred from any of the above conditions as I do.

  • i have both , im an nt so for me its not related to autism

    for my geographic tongue , i learned to deal with it as best as i could, after years of 'here try this' from the doctors/dentists,all they can and do give you is moutwash, tablets,numbing mouthwash, more tablets, and btw the tablets they said would help (sodium tablets if i remember right) made it worse

    i have a good idea its to do with some kind of intolerance or allergy to some chemical in foods/drink and might be related to some kind of yeast inthe gut (i had helicobactor and the meds for that cleared it up, and it came right back after stopping)

    as for grinding, im still trying to deal with that,not easy, that came after i took a certain medication and i cant seem to stop it ,

    it sounds like you do have some kinda nerve problem too

    i hope you get it all sorted
