Grinding teeth / jaw clenching

White_Dragon

Hi all

I have just been thinking about a lot of my teeth and jaw issues may relate to my frequent teeth grinding and or jaw clenching.

Anybody else suffer with this issue? And if so have you found anything to help? Are chew toys any good was just looking at them but not sure….any thoughts would be very welcome .

Had a lot of jaw and tooth pain and stiffness this week….

  • Halloo! Yes yes yes! This is a thing for sure. I've been a tooth grinder all my life, and, in my younger years, a frequent chewer of anything I could get my hands onto. For years, I tried to ignore it, break the habit, only bite my nails, only chew gum, but I came to the conclusion that I'm just someone who needs to do it no matter what. I got an overnight mouth guard and invested in some chewable jewelry that I now carry everywhere. It's been a LIFE SAVER.
