Answers:
It's stress!. Go to your dentist and get fitted for a night guard(mouth guard), they really do help!.Alot of the time the problem sorts itself out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To eliminate your teeth grinding problem here are several suggestions:
1!. Try taking a warm bath before bedtime
2!. Drink less alcohol!. Your dentist will be able to assess the extent of tooth damage caused by this problem!.
3!. The dentist may recommend a custom-fitted mouth guard (expensive) to be worn while you sleep!. If the problem persists, consider cognitive behavioral therapy!.

Teeth grinding also known as bruxism, is the clenching together of the bottom and upper jaw accompanied by the grinding of the lower set of teeth with the upper set!.

Teeth grinding is a unconscious behavior so many people do not realize that they are doing it!. Often it is the partner who tells them about the nighttime sounds that their teeth grinding produces!.

Although it can occur during the waking hours, teeth grinding most frequently occur while we sleep!. During sleep, the biting force can be up to six times greater than the pressure during waking hours!.

Consequently, significant damage is much more likely to occur with this nighttime teeth grinding!.

People who grind their teeth, whether or not they have jaw or tooth problems, were more likely to snore loudly and have sleep apnea, a dangerous condition in which the sleeper stops breathing for periods of time

Grinding your teeth at night can cause a number of problems, such as seriously wearing down your teeth, loosening the teeth, gum reduction, jaw joint problems, and may be a cause of headaches during the day!.

One of the causes is a deficiency in pantothenic acid (one of the B-vitamins) and calcium!. Pantothenic acid, an anti-stress vitamin, reduces the production of certain hormones from the adrenal glands!. Lack of pantothenic acid is a factor in the control of motor activity; teeth grinding is the sign that motor activity is not under control!.

A calcium deficiency causes muscle cramps or involuntary movement of muscles in the mouth resulting in grinding of the teeth!. Chew a few calcium or bone meal tablets before bedtime!. This remedy seems to reduce contractions of the jaw muscles!.

A magnesium deficiency may be another cause!. A deficiency can cause spasming, and seems to affect people at night!. Leg cramps and teeth grinding are just two ways a magnesium deficiency manifests itself at night!.

Another possible cause of teeth grinding is parasites!. Pinworms, a common parasite, can cause teeth grinding!. A large percentage of the population has some form of parasitic infestation, so have a stool analysis test to determine if you have parasites!. Then try an herbal parasite cleanse, not a drug remedy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with Angelita!. I'm a dental assistant and most people that grind their teeth do so because of stress!. However, in addition to getting a night guard to protect your teeth from grinding, you also need to relax!. Try exercising, yoga, meditation, etc!.!.!. Anything to help you relax!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
