Apparently I’m officially a teeth grinder!
Had a nasty ear infection and pain to the jaw, ear is now getting better and jaw is so painful! Made an appointment at the dentist who confirms I’m a teeth grinder.
Anyone else got this?? |

I was terrible for grinding my teeth after packing in smoking 10 years ago
Numerous trips to dentist I was fair wearing out my back teeth in fact lost two on dentists advice
Also had serious jaw ache and ear ache
Make sure it's not neuralgia my dentist would have happily pulled the lot convinced it was teeth causing pain
One trip to doctor and fortnight of tablets and everything sorted

"Yep I’m a teeth grinder of past, used to wear a shield back in the day.
Did it help?
Dr and dentist think it’s been brought on by stress x"
Mine was anxiety. It didn’t stop the grinding as such but it limited the enamel damage. |

It’s common, without going into too much detail, we pretty much all Brux during the night and u wont know about it. It causes stress in a joint just in front of your ears called the TMJ, this loads the muscles in your head and can cause all sorts of horrible side affects. It’s not helped by further wear and over closing. Without opening it’s pretty hard to treat, but a simple nightguard will be available from your dentist and should prevent further wear and protect any dental work you may have. They are a bit of a passion killer though! Hope this helps |

Unless you wake up and find them on the other side of the room like I did lol!! Solve the stress is the best answer, I've got a really close bite but don't seem to grind anymore. |
