I used to grind and clench my teeth badly and I'd wake up with a really
sore jaw and a headache. So I got a sports mouthguard, and that really
did the trick. If anything, it made it less convenient to bite hard,
and I stopped grinding/clenching. Sometimes I'd wake up and it'd have
fallen out,
you could get a hard one, but that could get a little uncomfortable in your
mouth all night :-P
seriously, i used a soft one for awhile. it makes a big difference if you
sometimes wake up with a sore jaw and a headache. wear it for a week
straight and you will be amazed. the big difference wit

at risk for.

I clench my teeth, so a soft one would be fine. He prescribed a
football mouthguard for my mom, who grinds.

would cost me like $100, so why not go drop $3 and see if it worked? It
did (I stopped wearing it when I stopped clen
that's funny! i bought one at sports chalet- a soft sports-type one. my
brother says he prefers to prescribe hard ones for teeth grinding because
the soft ones don't make you stop grinding, they just keep it from hurting.

my brother is a dentist and he often prescribes mouth-guards for people who
grind their teeth at night. If you get one from a dentist they will fit it
to your teeth. there is no change to your bite that i know of.

my first mouthguard was purchased off the internet and advertised as an
apnea device. It was about $100 and was a good quality, however, you're

More about the mouthguards, please. What kind do you get and where do

Sinus and respiratory infections are not colds and are rarely
viral.They almost always require strong antibiotics and sometimes even
steroids to cure them. Sounds like you need a new doctor, preferably
an ENT with a brain.

I am just suggesting that it might be a good idea to make sure he is not one of
