Grinding teeth...mouth piece alternative?!


Question: Grinding teeth...mouth piece alternative.?
Apparently, I grind my teeth in my sleep. Ive chipped my front teeth. The dentist today told me I need some sort of mouth piece specially made but cannot afford that. Are there any alternatives.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
There are night guards you can buy at the store. Check Rite Aid or Target. More than likely these will be more affordable than one made by the dentist.Health Question & Answer

FYI,
YOU NEED TO STOP GRINDING AND WITH ANY NIGHT GUARD YOU MAY STOP THE DAMAGE TO YOUR TEETH, BUT YOU'LL STILL KEEP GRINDING.
WHY.?
YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR TEETH FROM TOUCHING AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IS WITH AN N.T.I BRUXISM APPLIANCE.Health Question & Answer

I had same problem. Mouth piece is called "night guard" and it may be less expensive that what will happen to your teeth without it. Maybe you could try sports mouth piece that can be purchased at sporting goods stores or even Wal-Mart.Health Question & Answer

They told my Daughter the same thing. they wanted 800 dollars for it. We went to Wal-mart and found a mouth guard thing for 20 dollars.
Look by the tooth paste and tooth brushes stuff. It has helped.Health Question & Answer
