Answers:
your teeth will wear away to be very very short.. There is not much you can do about it other than get a nightguard made by your dentist.. It is plastic and goes over your teeth so instead of your teeth wearing down the nightguard will gradually wear down instead and that alot better because nightguards are easy to replace but teeth are much harder.. Your teeth won't fall out, they will just look like little stubs over timeHealth Question & Answer

Your teeth will wear away and become more flat on top which is bad because then, you'll have more difficulty eating food..

Idk, to try to get rid of the habit, try chewing sugarless gum..
And it's important that it's sugarless cuz if it's not, it just adds to the cause..Health Question & Answer

i been doing so for 20 yrs hun it will make them super sensitive chew gum during the day it helps and get a sleep guard they range for 10 to 20 dollars i think at walmart but get one for ur height cause mine was a size to big and i had to cut it down to sleep comfortablyHealth Question & Answer

talk to your dentist, i used to do that when i was younger, then i just stopped.. But if it continues it will wear down your teeth and eventually begin to chip.. Then you wont have nice pretty teeth! Talk to your dentist they will help you out.. Dont worry.. Youll be fine.. Health Question & Answer

Well I also do that, but I learned that if you sleep with your mouth open or press your jaw against your pillow.. If those ideas don't work I don't know what will..So I suggest that you find a way because your teeth will fall out!Health Question & Answer

It will probably start hurtign when you eat your food.. Hope you can clear that problem up soon..Health Question & Answer
