Answer 18

Hi.

This may sound quite strange but i used to grind my teeth as well. My grandmother found a home remedy somewhere and it said to eat a fig(a strange fruit with sweet pink pulp o the inside, not as gross as it sounds!) a day and it will stop you from grinding your teeth.

i know it sounds crazy but it really worked for me. it helped that much that i haven't ground my teeth since.

On the subject of Destroying teeth i would recommend going to a dentist if this doesn't work. he/she will most likely be able to help you.

Answer 19

Answer 20

Answer 21

Answer 22

Well at night you probably dont know it but you grind your teeth even when you sleep so go buy a mouthgaurd and do what the instructions tell you to do to hold you over then you should go see a dentist.

Thats the best thing to do.
