How Do You Stop Teeth Grinding?

Teeth grinding intensifies on nights after you’ve been drinking alcohol. Cutting back will help stop the problem.

Key takeaways:

• Teeth grinding can be caused by anxiety, stress, sleep apnoea, other sleep disorders, and abnormal bite.
• A sore jaw and a dull headache upon waking may signal to the problem of teeth grinding.
• Your dentist will fit you with a mouth guard to prevent any further damage to the teeth. The underlying cause should then be addressed to finally stop the grinding.

The problem of teeth grinding is not limited to adults. Approximately 15% to 33% of children grind their teeth. Children who grind their teeth tend to do so at two peak times — when their baby teeth emerge and when their permanent teeth come in.
