Anyone else have this problem. I'll be sitting around not even paying attention to it and then all of a sudden realize im grinding the shit out of my teeth. I get this feeling like my mouth and teeth are numb kinda like the feeling in your mouth after taking a hit of acid. Also happens a lot after smoking weed.

I do it while I sleep at night...my teeth have been super fucked because of it. While I am awake though I don't have this problem.

I grind my teeth constantly. As a result I've had some bad problems with cracking molars and cavities. Sometimes I get such incredible jaw tension when I wake up in the morning that I have to stick a pencil between my teeth to keep them propped apart. It's horrible.
Oddly enough when I used to take Dexedrine (amphetamine) I wouldn't grind my teeth as frequently as I do sober. Of course until I started crashing then it was a fucking clench fest.
I used to grit my teeth in my sleep when I was younger.

I don't grind my teeth, but I do clinch them a lot unintentionally. Usually I notice I do it when I'm sitting down doing something (or nothing, lol). If I do it for a while, my gums get really relaxed and feel wonderful... I guess I see why dogs can be entertained by chewing on shit all day, everyday. I try to stop myself though because I don't want to wear my teeth out.

Common causes of Bruxism (teeth grinding):
- Deficiency in pantothenic acid (one of the B-vitamins) and calcium - Magnesium deficiency - Pinworms - Internalizing Anger/Stress - Dehydration
Tips:
Try taking warm baths. Tai Chi to ease stress. Drink less alcohol. Drink More Water. If it is a vitamin deficiency, it can be easily solved by eating a healthy, well-balanced diet.. and/or taking multivitamin supplements. Valerian can help. As can Lavender tea, lavender essential oil mixed with almond or olive oil and massaged into the neck and area around the jaw.
If it is worms, you need an herbal cleanse. But it is most often usually dehydration, a magnesium/calcium deficiency or stress, IME.
Alcohol dehydrates you BTW

I have ground my teeth my entire fucking LIFE. I was diagnosed with TMJ at 14 and I've never had it fixed. I can now unhitch my jaw and make awful noises popping it around. I grind all the sealants out of my teeth and I have constant jaw aches.
I've tried everything. The only thing that will alleviate the tension in your jaw is if you get a grind guard and put it in every night. I lost mine because I ground so hard it kept popping out of my mouth.
Luckily, this condition does not extend to giving head. woohoo!
My teeth hurt.

My jaw feels sore when I wake up. And few months ago I had to take a loan out for 5k to get my teeth fixed because of the grinding. If I didn't have insurance it would of been like 10k...its fucking nutz. If you can do something to prevent grinding, do it.

You can't grind your teeth if you stay aware of what you are doing. Look up 'mindfulness'.
-------------------- Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. ~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
