I grind my teeth very badly and wake up with aching teeth

Q. I grind my teeth very badly, and wake up with aching teeth. It has been suggested i get my self a bite plate for the night-time. Could you advise me where i can get one of these, without necessarily going through my dentist Kind regards

A. I’m not sure whether you mean you do not want to go to your dentist ot any dentist. If you mean that you do not want to go through any dentist then a company called oprp offer mouthguard that you can order online although they are mainly for sports reaons.
If you meant not necessarily with your dentsit then most other dentists will be able to have a mouthguard made for you.

I do recommend looking into the reason why you are grinding. Beacause although a night guard will protect the teeth at night, you are not getting to the route of the problem, but willl simply be grinding onto the nightguard instead of your teeth. I am a neuromuscular denist and deal with patients like yourself every day. Neuromuscular dentistry looks into the alignment of the bite. Some of my patients also have headached, neck and back pain and other various symptoms

If you would like to find out more about this treatment, please contact my assistant Gina on [email protected] and she will send you an information pack.
