I Think i found the cure for Grinding your teeth! this helped me alot.

im not promising that this works, or that it will make you feel better, but if you give it a try, you might like it.

i recommend you do not follow any advice i give you in this post.

its not my fault and i am not responsible if you choke or get hurt or anything bad happens in anyone's opinion.


I agree ( continue reading if you agree ) :


ok so, i get stressed out sometimes, and i find myself grinding my teeth, just clenching them really hard, when i dream, when im stressed throughout the day.


other than unbreakable steel willpower, you will need-

corn.




boil your corn, and cook it up nice and tasty, and eat it.



then, take your corn stick (the stick of hard stuff left over after you eat the corn off)




place in in one side of your mouth, and bite/chew it until it becomes worn out, BUT NOT IN PIECES.

then throw it away.

do the same thing with a fresh piece of hard corn cob leftover, on the other side of your mouth.



i did that, and i was like... hmmm i wonder why i did this?


it really relieved my stress, and i feel like i got the "clenchy teethyness" out of my system, and have more control over it.

it didn't feel like i was feeding the habit at all.


btw, i HATE chewing gum.



peace, and thanks for reading, have a nice day.

Tongue depressors/Popsicle sticks work quite well, too.

Grinding your teeth can be due to a mineral deficiency...
...try taking a good calcium supplement with co-factors.

you arent supposed to chew on them. They create a soft barrier for teeth grinders.

yes, they are, unless they make them differently where you come from.

Calcium is best metabolized with other minerals/vitamins present...
...a good calcium supplement will include these in the formulation...
...usually vitamin D3 and copper are among them.

LOL @ "clenchy teethyness"

New medicine has amped this problem for me, so I was interested to see your thread! I think I personally will have to find an alternative though, I can't see myself cooking corn just to chew on the cob. Thanks for sharing though!

good, then theyre the same as here, and yes, they are soft. Balsa wood is among the softest woods out there (and wood in general is a soft material).

Oops, logic.

Ill leave you to your thread.

Grinding your teeth can be due to a mineral deficiency...
...try taking a good calcium supplement with co-factors.

what are co-factors?

The human body requires about ninety essential nutrients to function properly...
...12 amino acids (protiens)
...15 vitamins
...3 fatty acids (Omega 3, 6 9)
...60 minerals (macro and micro)

Most people don't even know what the sixty minerals are and the body can make none of them.

Calcium deficiency alone is the root cause of about 300 diseases.

There are three micro-minerals that 1mcg/day will double the life of lab rats.

Grinding teeth can be a sign of mineral deficiency so look into supplementing them...
...calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc are a good place to start.

I have the same problem...its more of a stiff jaw/teeth clenching type of thing rather than grinding. If I have too much caffeine or I'm stressed it gets much worse. I have tried everything to stop! It gives me terrible headaches and I get really dizzy. If it isn't too bad then I can chew on something to help relieve the tension but if it gets too bad I just take some muscle relaxers and go to bed. The one thing that I had the best results with is hypnotism. It worked for several months before it seemed to wear off. I would go back but I have since moved away from my hypnotist and there is not one near where I live. Do you find the more you think about not doing it the worse it gets?
