My teeth clenching and grinding is damaging my teeth, can you recommend a good dentist?

Thursday, January 20th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Solanki

I suffer from bruxism, and am currently unhappy with my current dentist due his lack of interest and patient care. I would be grateful if you could recommend a dentist in Manchester who you believe will have the experience in this field to help me. I believe the constant grinding/clenching is now having a severe affect on my my teeth, 2 have recently broken and my gums are often inflamed, as well as the internal mouth problems i am suffering with an aching jaw most of the time and frequent headaches. I would be grateful for any advise on this.

Best Regards

I have a hard bite problem and need a cheap solution. Do you have anything that can help?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

Hi Andrew,

Im a 20 year old female, and im currently suffering from Bruxism and a very uncomfortable bite which i think had made it worse. i want to see if i qualify for orthodontic treatment on the NHS.

I’ve always ground my teeth at night but in the last year it has gotten quite severe, and more noticable since my boyfriend moved in and has to wake me up to stop constantly in the night. i wake up with an aching jaw and headaches most days and dread going to sleep incase i cause more damage…

i had a brace when i was 13 but since i had it off and i gradually stopped wearing my retainer, my wisdom teeth have started coming through and slowly my bite has become unbearable, my molars dont align comfortably and this bothers me to the point where i think about it throughout the day and find myself clenching my jaw and rubbing my front teeth against eachother.

Im also extremely worried about my enamel. i have a weak stomach and have developed an intolerance to alcohol which ive only just recognised, but for the last 3 or 4 years have been sick at least once a month and up to twice a week. consequently my front teeth are transparant half way down.

my teeth are very sensitive and ive started to get a shooting pain up one of my molars which comes and goes, my dentist x rayed and said nothing was wrong.

Im wondering if my wisdom teeth coming through in the last couple of years has caused my bite to change and has subsequently made the bruxism worse?

ive got to the point where i go to sleep and have nightmares about my teeth and spend all day with an aching jaw and headahce worrying about it and then dread going to sleep…

i know theres plates available but im wondering if i can get my bite fixed with orthodontics on the NHS? Would i qualify for this?
I want to get it sorted and feel more comfortable and stop worrying but im a student and i cant afford to pay for it privately. is there a cheap way to fix the problem?

Thank you for your time,
I’d love some advice, or some kind of alternative for a low budget. This is causing me so much stress and discomfort.

Thanks a lot

Do my grinding teeth have any connection to my migraines?

Monday, August 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, 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.,

I suffer with bruxism and it has caused my gums to receed which is making my teeth very sensitive, any advice?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Q.
I suffer with Bruxism and it has caused my gums to receed which is making my teeth very sensitive. My dentist has made me a mouth shield which has not helped because it causes jaw strain and my gums are still very red and sore when I wear it. I am extremely anxious that I am going to lose my teeth if the problem is not solved, can you offer me any advice.,
