‘Teeth’ comes from the Latin for ‘food bones’.

Player #3453966, I had severe bruxism and would gnaw thought hard and soft night guards. Turns out my problem was my upper jaw was too small and had to be surgically corrected. Good-bye, bruxism!

ComicalPegasus108, Tell me about it.I have it,I ended up getting my teeth removed and getting dentures at age26. My dentist thinks it might be from extreme stress.My father was very abusive to my mother and us kids.Im 54years old and my jaw still hurts from this condition.Im on pain killers because of this.besides my jaw hurting all the time I have horrible headaches.

Bruxism is linked to TMJD too. Most people who suffer this are more likely to suffer Jaw problems too. TMJD is awful.

Player #166930, Michael Sealy has a YouTube meditation for bruxism. really helps when falling asleep to listen with earplugs. I've found tension from unresolved issues to play a major effect on episodes. Sorted through those with therapy and more awareness really helped 👍

I do that when I am extremely ticked off. it isn't really deliberate, but it's a form of frustration.

I have this. It led to biting my cheeks and lips so badly, they bleed. Now the dentist said they are so scarred, that they stand out, so I just bite them more. Thinking of a night guard just to protect them.

Micki

Boy, do I know it! I have to wear a mouth guard at night to prevent it. My teeth were getting really worn down. Stress can be a factor, but so can a misaligned bite.

Katt

I used to grind my teeth at night... thank goodness not anymore!

Victoria

I have several patients who have dementia and had never exhibited Bruxism until recently and discovered that it can be a pain issue unresolved.

MG, I too have it, stress definitely contributes. I grind my teeth in sleep and during the day. Hate the mouth guard but I do wear it as my teeth are so worn.

DONNA-Indiana Real Lady, The mandible joint is just beneath the ear. Often times people have terrible ear pain and think it's an ear infection, when actually, it's TMJD or TMJ Syndrome from bruxism. It happened to me.

Ms.

Could be stress; a night guard helps alot

mayet

my husband is bruxism everynight grinding his teeth oh i cant sleep.

Donna

Player #3453966, I recently was told that my severe ear infection was caused by this!

Dentist identified my bruxism and prescribed a night guard but the very idea made me gag so I put it off and put it off. When I finally gave in and got one, I was shocked to see how ok it felt and how quickly I got used to it. If you need one, don't delay. Its not that big a deal and you can lose teeth without it.

Player #166930, OH nooo diddnt know that

In rabbits, bruxing means gently grinding their teeth, which they do when they are very content, like while being pet; it's like how they purr. :) In contrast, loud and forceful teeth grinding is a sign that bunny is in pain.

I love this game so much. It’s so educational and I learned a lot. When I go to the dentist, he always tells me that I must have grind my teeth during sleep, and I denied such thing because while asleep I may not aware of myself grinding it. I thought the dentist is lying and trying to rip money off of me. Now I know he’s telling the truth about me feuding during sleep, and though he never used the “medical term” I now know what I suffer referred to.

CoolCohesion10, Absolutely!

I was told by my dentist that I will have it forever. No cure. I also have TMJ. I had braces & my wisdom teeth came in at the same time. Alot of major stress on my jaw. I wear a guard at night, meditation, & stress management.
