Why Do I Grind My Teeth At Night?

Question

Sometimes at night, I grind my teeth. My mom told me that I've been doing it since I was a kid. What caused me to do this? And what can I do to stop it?

Answer 1

I do the same thing. Talk to your dentist and he will make you a thing you wear in your mouth while you sleep so the grinding does not wreck your teeth.

The usual cause of grinding teeth is stress.

Answer 2

Lots of people do this

Stress is one factor but there are others

you need a nightguard, your dentist will be the one to make this for you. It will stop you from causing excessive wear to your teeth (which can get Really Bad)
