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….

  • Yes I clench my teeth, awful. What helps me is a gumguard to wear at night... I forgot it at home when visiting my parents the other day and I woke up in serious jaw pain. This mouth guard is made to fit by NHS dentist - it's so thin that I can tlak with it in and it barely makes a difference to my speaking. Any I've had in the past were too thick and clumsy. I also thought I'd never get used to it - but now I struggle to sleep without it. 

    I also suggest some wind down activity before bed
