Teeth grinder problems?!

Teeth grinder problems?

Lately, my husband has been violently grinding his teeth to the point where it prevents me from getting a decent night's sleep. I know he's always been like that, ever since I met him, but then is nothing compared to how it is now. It's so bad, it wakes me up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I have to sleep on the living room couch, and I can STILL hear him grinding them down.

I just can't take it anymore.

I've spoken to him about it a million times already, but he's a stubborn guy and refuses to get a mouth guard. How can I get him to stop grinding his teeth, not only for his dental health, but for me so I can be able to sleep properly.

Take a warm bath before bedtime...

The man is 7ft tall, he's not going to fit in our tub.

Thanks for all the advice (especially the tips). I really appreciate them all!

I was a grinder. I developed TMJ, you could hear my jaw pop across the room when I ate, I had neck/shoulder pain, a perforated cartilage in the joint, the list goes on. Maybe the loss of his teeth will be a wake up call for him. Having a dentist make a bite guard will solve the problem in time. I spent thousands in bio-feedback treatments to deal w/stress, relaxation exercises,etc. The bite guard was worn at night when I slept and it helped the most. He will have a hard time grinding his gums when all his teeth are gone. Get yourself some ear plugs so you can get some sleep and good luck getting the stubborn mule to help himself.
