I tend to, but when I'm conscious, I avoid grinding. When I'm asleep, it's another matter entirely which is why I wear a mouthguard at night. You can grind your teeth so that the enamel comes off, and they get worn down to really small teeth. I had no breakfast this morning. I'm having a 7 vegetable salad for lunch along with one extra lean hamburger topped with tomato, onion, mustard, hot sauce, and chipotle pepper hot sauce.

It's terrible for your teeth.
If you want to stop, next time you are in any store that has a pharmacy or sporting goods department, stop and pick up a sports mouth guard for $1. Most of them say to heat in boiling water, then put in your mouth and bite down to shape them. Then use it whenever you grind your teeth. You'll feel like a real macho hockey player, but it works.

I think Andy should just start using his binky again.

gloria p,
I tried a contraption like that (from the pharmacy) but it seemed too unfamiliar/uncomfortable in nature to wear.

Chemo,
Stop fag-tagging and do the newsgroup a favor and try to post something food related!

That's good and not from a dietary POV. I'm thinking that you (and Andy) need more crunchy things in your diet to work off some of that negative energy. Try chewing gum, sugarless, of course. Look into the food/oral part of a sensory diet. It wouldn't hurt for tooth grinders to take a look and give it a try.

This is a common medical/dental problem. Have your dentist consider making a nightguard that specifically fits your teeth. This is very commonly done these days. Check your insurance. Dental insurance does not tend to cover the cost of nightguards. Your health insurance may cover it. The cost should be approximately $500.

Not any more!!!!!!!!!! No teeth! Seriously, my lower front teeth - about six of them - were ground down below the gumline. My oral surgeon said it was because the dentist who put crowns on my top six used too much metal on the backs of the crowns and it just wore them right down - It did take about thirty years. New teeth coming soon after Thanksgiving . . . boy am I getting skinny! Lynn in Fargo

Lynn in Fargo,
Whoa! Sorry to hear that!
I think I grind my teeth as a matter of reflex but I don't know why! :(((

After all teeth are removed, there's usually too much space between upper and lower jaws for them to actually meet. It's highly unlikely that one could grind one's gums.
