Teeth grinding??

I notice that I am grinding my teeth at night, not when I'm sleeping, when I'm awake and/or clamping my teeth tight.

i do that too...its really damaged my teeth:( i think its just my reaction to stress (or one of my reactions anyways)...i do it during the day and at night:(
YES! I have this! It just started a few days ago. I'm clamping down from tension I think. I wonder if I do it in my sleep too?
Good luck
my dh grinds his teeth in his sleep-- it was diagnosed by his dentist. I don't know what causes it, but it is terrible for your teeth, and the dentist says it can cause his migraines as well.
He is being fitted for a nightguard to wear at night (like a silicone thing that football players wear) and it is covered 100% by our dental insurance.
Why don't you check with a dentist?

I'm a teeth grinder/clencher too. I always assumed it was due to the tension caused by the anxiety, because I didn't start doing it until my first bad bout with anxiety. I do it when I'm awake as well. I have found that when I chew gum during the day it's worse at night. Sometimes stretching my jaw out by opening my mouth wide and moving my jaw from side to side helps.
It can't hurt to ask your doc about it during your next visit.
I'm thinking it's when I'm exhausted, at the end of the day.

I am starting a new list for the doc, lol.
