Are there any nutritional supplements that will help stop teeth clenching (while asleep)?

Teeth clenching or "Bruxism" indicates tension either mental or physical. Magnesium may help you.  It's a mineral, almost everyone these days is deficient in and is known as nature's muscle relaxer. \nThe best forms of it end in 'ate' such as magnesium malate, taurate or citrate.  Less than  $10 at most health food stores. My favorite is the Triple Magnesium form Swanson Vitamins. It's very reasonably priced as well.\n\nWARNING: An earlier answer advised you to take calcium. Be very cautious. Calcium supplementation can increase a magnesium deficiency. I would NOT at all recommend calcium supplementation.\n\nGood Luck!

Try melatonin, a natural supplement.  Or valerian, an herb that induces sleep.

Try sublingual vitamin B12, available in most health food stores and on the internet.  B12 is considered the "energy vitamin" and may help with the fatigue and dizziness.  I have T minor, and B12 helps a lot.  Regular B12 tablets (the kind you swallow) aren't as effective.  The sublingual B12 (the kind you dissolve under your tongue) gets into your blood stream more efficiently, and you'll benefit more from it.

I would try a magnesium supplement at night.  Magnesium is a relaxant - it stops muscle spasms and tossing and turning.  It has helped me a great deal.  It's also very low in our normal diets and so it helps to balance other major blood minerals, including calcium and potassium.

You need to see an orthodontist to get your bite adjusted so you don't have the pain anymore.  In the meantime you can get some relief by wearing a night guard when you sleep.

If your periodontist has suggested a mouth guard due to receeding gums caused by bruxism, then yes, you should go with that advice as it will help.  Good luck to you.

Find something else that involves your hands or mouth. Start chewing gum 0 sugarless so you don't rot your teeth. Maybe take up some sort of simple craft that you can do whenever you feel stressed - maybe drawing.

I like excedrine PM, but have also used valerian root which is available on the vitamin aisle at most drug stores.  Both help me fall asleep, stay asleep and I don't wake up with that hung over feeling in the morning.

warm milk and a coupla biscuits normally do it\n\nWarm milk helps production of melatonin.. the hormone that gets you to sleep.\n\nThe biscuits mix in with it as your stomach never likes to go to bed fully empty!

Before you sleep take aspirin or a pain reliever. I just put ice in my mouth and keep it near where the pain is. It usually numbs the pain, and it dissolves so there is no clean-up!

Do you consider herbal supplements drugs? If not, then try 5HTP or Melatonin. Take one tablet of either 30 minutes before you go to bed, and you'll sleep soundly through the night.\n\nYou can order them at a discount through Swanson Vitamins, linked below.
