How does one prevent teeth-grinding?


Question:
What are the causes of teeth-grinding, how to prevent it and what are the consequences?

Answers:
You could get TMJ a terrible pain in the Jaw which hurts like the dickens. They told me to just concentrate on not grinding my teeth and that works for me since I had TMJ. They told me at the emergency room teeth grinding is caused by stress.

Other Answers:
they have teeth guards at just about any store buy one and wear it when your sleeping.

Your dentist can make a plastic tray for your upper teeth to prevent damage to the teeth during sleep. Causes are presumed to be stress. The tray is well worth it, because if you grind down your teeth too much you're looking at replacement or dentures. It can cause the enamel on your teeth to wear down, which can lead to other dental problems. Stress can cause teeth-grinding, not sure what else. The best way I know of to stop it is to get an insert from a specialist made and wear it while you sleep.


As far as I know, there's no way to prevent teeth grinding. However, you should check with your dentist for a bite guard that you can wear at night (if this is when the grinding occurs).This will help relieve an pain you may have in your jaw, and save your teeth some wear!
