I grind my teeth while I'm awake.?!
Question: I have been grinding my teeth at night for many years and I have a nightguard. I have recently noticed that I've been grinding while I'm awake as well. Is there any way to stop this? I'm not aware of it when I start.

some people do grind their teeth during the day and some even clench their jaw. wear your nightguards during the day as much as you can. it can be realated to stress so try some stress relieving techniques as well.
maybe you have OCD.
You on exctasy?
could be nerves could be parasites.....either way.. eeekkk
everytime you become aware of it, think of something absolutely gross or eat something gross.
Knock all ur teeth out
Wear the "night" guards as much in the daytime as you can. you don't even have to wear them in public. Or you could talk to your dentist about this problem.
Perhaps you have TMJ. It could be relating to stress.
You should talk to your doc about this. You may have a nervous disorder.
Are you stressed? Because most people don't grind while awake. So that may be a sign that your body is really stressed out. Talk with your dentist. They can see the options open for you.
it is called bruxism..my psychology teacher says that it is a psychological problem..but for the dentists' perspective, somethings wrong with your teeth or oral cavity..i think you should research about bruxism and talk to your doctor=)
i guess all u can do is make a point of making sure u DONT grind ur teeth.
i do it too sometimes too its hard to stop
Try to pay attention to your surroundings when ever you realize that youre doing it. It could be caused from stress. If that's what the problem is try to do something different to take your mind off of it. I also grind my teeth at night, 2 of them have broken now.
i do this too my dentist says its from stress and just a bad habit but try to stop cause you will grind your teeth away...i always put my tongue between when i catch myself doing it...if you cant stop you should get a guard...you can have one made to perfectly fit your mouth or buy one in the store...
