  • I tend to have gum during the day. night guard for sleep


  • Supplementing magnesium and taking magnesium flake baths may possibly help. They are better than epsom salts baths. Apparently some people do it due to magnesium deficiency? Stress can reduce magnesium in the body if you have been feeling stressed.


  • I definitely agree with lost of the comments regarding stress. We tend to hold stress and even some traumas in our jaw. However, if you are also looking for something to give you immediate relief, I came across this product called Jawzrsize and it helps me with grinding soooo much! It actually creates a gap between my top and bottom teeth, it\’s honestly awesome.


  • iif you are doing this when you are stress then definitely seek advise for that then this would help you with the issue


  • I was the same til I was able to work out why I did. Try and be aware when you can if what might be triggering you to do it. My night time settled down once the day time was sorted.


  • I had to go to my gp and get medication. The damage to my teeth was getting out of hand and I couldn’t destress on my own


  • I’d be looking at what is stressing you and aiming at relaxing exercises before bed.


  • Maybe look at relaxation techniques. The local library may have resources in this area.


  • Possibly look at triggers and research ways to avoid them and relieve them.


  • Consider stress-reducing techniques like meditation or yoga to alleviate overall tension. Be mindful of jaw posture and consciously relax your jaw throughout the day. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, as they may contribute to teeth grinding. Consult with your dentist to explore alternative solutions or adjustments to your night plate.
