Go to your local drugstore and buy a night guard.  You will boild it so that it conforms to your mounth.  It sounds uncomfortable and obstrusive, but it really isnt, and you'll barley notice it during the night.  This will stopp grinding from damaging your teeth.

It could also mean you clinch your jaw tightly during your sleep or grind your teeth. Tell your doctor. They can actually prescribe low low dosage anti-depressants (no you are not depressed!) that relax you and your jaw. Your amount of productive sleep increases. Chances are you won't wake up tired or with a headache. Worth a shot. Talk with your Doc. Good luck :)

you could also be clamping down on your teeth at night. and yes-if your teeth are impacted then maybe it is the cause. simple xrays at your dentist could probably figure it out for you

Perhaps you chew chewing gum that is sweetened with Aspartame. Your body is craving for more during your sleep. \n\nIf you are, cut out the aspartame.

Go to the healthfood store and buy echinacea (liquid works the best) and put it under your tongue a couple times a day and before you go to sleep.  And i swear by this... Eat 5 or 6 oranges in a row before you go to sleep and you'll wake up feeling fine.  Lots of water too and as much sleep as you can get.  Always works for me.

oww that hurt, i hate it when that happens\nbrush your teeth after every meal and before going to bed and after getting up, keep your mouth as clean as possible, and if it doesn't go away in a few days or gets worse call your dentist back....you might see if the store has mouth sore gel, it helps to numb the area and cuts down on infection.

.Go to bed the same time every night\n.Read or take a warm bath before bedtime to tire you up\n.Have dinner so you're not hungry,because you can't sleep if you're hungry.But don't get too stuffed,because that can be bothersome too.\n.DON'T drink coffee or anything with caffeine at night\n.And most importantly,relax.Pretend to put all of your troubles in a bottle and keep your mind free of worry,or at least until morning.

Talk to your dentist. They will probably recommend that a night guard be made for you.  You can wear the night guard while you are sleeping, so that way you are clinching on the acrylic rather than the tooth structure. It will also teach your body where to relax your jaw when you are clenching.  My night guard has helped with my clinching so much! Good luck

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is often related to stress. It also can be caused by crooked or missing teeth or by something that creates an abnormal bite, such as a high spot on a molar. To diagnose bruxism, dentists look for flattened spots on the teeth. Treatment includes smoothing down those high spots and behavior modification for stress reduction. Your dentist also may recommend a mouth guard or a custom-made splint to be worn at night. These prevent teeth from coming together, which interrupts the grinding and gives muscles a chance to relax.\n\nHere's some more information:\nBruxism can have a variety of psychological and physical causes. These include stress, the body's reaction to poor tooth alignment, as a complication of severe brain injury, or as an uncommon side effect of some antidepressant medications.

Go to walgreens or your local drugstore and buy a mouth gurad.  It a little rubber piece that you wear at night that keeps you from damaging your teeth.  It sound horrible and obstrusive, but when you wear it it shouldnt bother you at all, and you wont notice it the whole night through.  Make sure you buy the kind that will mold to your teeth.

Most of my patients who clench/grind their teeth at night tend to have those dreams so... maybe is is due to your body perceiving the pressure or maybe it is directly realted to stress...

Yes, this is a very good sign!  There is a theory that you can train your mind to stop habits like subconsciously grinding your teeth, just as you would trying to quit biting your nails!  It's kind of a mystery, as I said it is just a theory.  However, I would carefully monitor your grinding (or not grinding) habits until you're positive, that way you don't unknowingly damage your teeth further.
