I went to get my teeth cleaned and while I was there I told the Dentist that I was having some discomfort in my tooth...he took xrays and checked my teeth and told me I had no cavities. ( I know big shocker :eek: ) Come to find out that I grind my teeth something fierce at night and I am going to have to get a nightguard! I can't believe all this pain is from grinding my teeth, WTF? I live on advil during the day, but at night I take some Darvocet for the pain. Does anyone have or had this problem? :(

    Did your husband knew about all the teeth-grinding you're doing at night?

    Why didn't he say something about it?

    well, she didn't indicate if she's been doing that before or just recently.

    I knew a few people whose granpa or older uncles have that teeth-grinding problem, not sure about 20/30-something people do that too.

    I worked with a lady who did that. Interesting lady with an interesting personality. I play the drums with my teeth. By that I mean I clack my teeth together at different angles to mimick the sound of a snare and kick drum in my head. I don't know if that constitutes grinding.

    After I'd had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 12or13 the dentist asked me if I was slamming the ham, yep, he just came out with it in the presence of a female nurse, me still suffering from the marathon man experience. He said that if I didn't (replied negative :o twas the truth) then I was possibly grinding my teeth in my sleep which could cause future irritation or something like that..........


    So, you single then.........I may know the remedy :p

    Kind of a digression but I keep having DREAMS about grinding/losing my teeth. It's fucked up :o

    speaking of teeth..I should go to the dentist and have a cavity checked out.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    it's not so surprising because this isn't really uncommon. lots of people grind their teeth or have tmj. night guards help. it sucks that some insurance plans don't cover them at all.
