hello Doctor.
question = I grind my teeth while sleeping very badly. My back teeth are worn down too much and my bite is too close which is uncomfortable and gives me headaches.I think I pull my lower jaw backwards to be able to close my back teeth. second problem is because of excessive grinding all my life I have lost most of my teeth and have either crowns or implants. I have a bar of 8 crowns held on by 5 implants at the top front of my mouth. I was never happy with them because the gum at the front shrunk as much that even with the bridge of 8 crowns it still looks like I have no teeth and they are not seen when I speak or smile. when I had my own natural teeth they were all showing at the front when I spoke or smiled. the bridge of crowns that I have just now have become loose and before I get them recemented I wanted to know if its possible to have the whole of the top set of teeth replaced so that they open my mouth more at the back and show more teeth at the front when I smile or speak. hope Ive explained that properly 🙂 thank you

Do my grinding teeth have any connection to my migraines?
Monday, August 2nd, 2010Hi, I have been grinding my teeth for quite some time, I’ve been through 2 bite guards, so I was referred to the Belfast school of dentistry, the professor there, fitted me with a bite guard, it is so thick, it’s massive. But, I suffer from Basilar migraines, will the grinding of the teeth have any bearing on the migraines? As my husband says that many a time I have migraines in my sleep and I don’t even know that I’ve had them. I just wondered if they were connected. I look forward to what you think.,
