I am 30 years old woman and I have teeth grinding problem during sleep time. Some times I get head ache or jaw pain after sleep. During sleep I am unable to recognise what I am doing. Now a days I feel tender gums and my front upper and lower teeth not meeting properly. Seeing small gaps between them, so unable to bite small particals using front teeth. I dont know what should I need to do to over come from this problem. Please help me.

Hi, you are suffering from bruxism. Try to get night guards as soon as possible.

Grinding of teeth or bruxism is a common complaint which often causes multiple problems in patients including tender gums, wearing of teeth and head and jaw pain. It is essential to first diagnose the cause of the bruxism. Use of a nightguard (splint) is important for immediate relief. After symptoms reduce, long term treatment options can be explored.
