    Default I Cant Stop!

    I've been grinding my teeth alot lately for some reason and it caused a chip in one of my back-ish teeth. So of course I had to mess with it alot with my other teeth and push it around and stuff and now its all irritated and itchy like I made it a tiny bit loose feeling. I keep pushing on it really hard one way and back the other way so that it makes that cracking feeling cause its itchy and feels weird and its driving me crazy!!!! I can't freaking stop messing with it, but I need too before I freaking make my tooth fall out.

    Ughhhh. What do I do?

    My orthodontist told me to get one of those sport mouth guards for when I sleep. The ones you put in boiling water to mould to your mouth. Im a horrible teeth grinder lol. It used to keep my ex awake when he tried to sleep with me lol.

    Go to the orthodontist and ask for a 'grind guard'. My dad grinds his teeth badly when he sleeps and he has one.

    BG the mouth guard that my ortho told me to use does the same as the bite guards that the ortho gives you. They're cheaper too and if I remember right Pooka is on a tight budget so I think it may be the better option for her until she can afford the bite guard from the ortho.

    When I finally got my bite guard it was over $1000 when all was said and done(since they have to take molds n stuff of your teeth)

    Yes, get a guard, and in the mean time, to stop you from messing with your tooth, uhm...I don't know, maybe put some baby mouth gel on there to stop the itching feeling so you wont want to investigate it?

    I chipped a back tooth a few years ago, the doctor put a little filling around it and it has been fine since. I'd go to the dentist ASAP and leave it alone. I don't know which is cheaper a crown or a artificial tooth.

    I feel your pain...I grind my teeth so bad that I have to wear a mouth guard when I sleep. The dentist said if I didn't start wearing one that I could grind my teeth down really short. I have dental insurance and they paid for half so I paid $150. They took a mold of my teeth and made a guard that looks like those invisalign braces. It was expensive...but having my teeth capped would have been more expensive. Maybe try getting one from the drug store in the meantime and some oral gel to make the tooth numb so you don't get tempted to mess with it. You could do what I did to stop biting my nails. I wore a rubber band on my wrist and every time I went to bite my nails I snapped it on my wrist to remind myself not to. It sounds stupid but it worked...haha! Good luck!!

    I got one made years ago and I couldn't sleep with it, tossed and turned every night until I put it away and lost it. Sucks, my teeth are worn down 40 years on top of my own age!
