Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Causes, Complications and Treatment
My dentist tells me I have a classic case of grinding my teeth while I sleep. He said this after looking at my teeth. The prevention is to get a mouth guard made. I didn't get the price yet. I don't have insurance.
I'm a skeptic when it comes to these things.
Does anyone have experience with this issue?
Any suggestions.
I'm thinking about trying to find an off the shelf mouth guard (not a boxing one but something called "Boil & Bit mouth protector" or whatever I can find) to see if I can determine anything before getting the dentist's mouth guard.
