Grinding teeth while sleeping

My mom says that a person grinds teeth while sleeping because of worms in the stomach. Please get him a worm tablet. It will be fine.

Well, he may even do not know that you are grinding teeth at night. Teeth grinding is clinically referred to as bruxism. Simply defined, it is the act of consciously or unconsciously clenching your teeth either during the day or while you sleep. Bruxism is considered both a medical and a dental problem. This is because it affects both the teeth and all of the structure near it, including the head. Once the dentist had determined that you suffer from bruxism, he would prescribe a cure for you. Teeth grinding cures are dependent upon the main cause of the habit. If your dentist believes that your teeth grinding habit is the direct result of stress, then he might refer you to a psychiatrist for a series of behavioral therapies to help eliminate the habit.

Hi chie! The elders said, it's unlucky, I guess more on the one who is noticing it. So whenever you see someone who's grinding his/her teeth while sleeping, what you should do is grab his/her mouth then throw it outside the window. It's not literally that you take away his/her mouth from his/her face, just an action which seems like you got his/her mouth and then you threw it towards outside the window. They said in this way, you will avoid bad luck. Hahaha, this is what I know. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

That condition is actually a sleeping disorder. I think that causes for that one is stress. I think your husband's condition is even better than mine cause in my case, I grind and I also sing and talk in my sleep. Those are disorders related to grinding of your teeth when the brain sends impulses to other parts of your brain that makes you talk.

Well even i have the habit. I consulted my dentist and he said its because of my mis positioning of my teeth and thats i grind and bite my teeth. Consult the dentist he will surely help on this.

hello chiepao,i do grind my teeth when i sleep but not all the time,it usually happens when i'm tired or stressed.It was terrible during my college days,brought about stress in studies,almost every night,my best friend told me it's like i'm grinding corn..but anyways,it becomes less & less until now & FYI,my 2 other siblings also doing the same thing,& our mom told us we got it from our dad,so it must be heredity,maybe,no idea...but anyways old beliefs according to my grandma is that you have to slap the person with a slipper,throw it away & it will be gone forever...amazing but unbelievable,but we never tried it...anyways,haven't done it for long now,maybe because i'm relax now & at ease.

You can suggest that he use dental guards, or better bring him to a dentist. It is a problem that needs to be solved immediately because it can permanently alter teeth's placement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruxism#Treatment
