Snoring and grinding teeth.?

My missus is driving me crazy snoring and grinding her teeth,,,, any suggestions..... help... or i am gonna go crazy...

Snoring and grinding teeth.?
Why does she grind her teeth? Is she a very nervous/stressful person. She will have to get a mouth guard done especially by your dentist so it fits in her mouth properly. If you can help her stop the habit do it! There are many consequences when grinding your teeth. She can develop problems with her TMJ (temporomandibular joint) located right under the ear lobe, wearing down of teeth, inflammation of pulp etc. A very quick solution is telling her to chew gum (without sugar) very slowly and soft without pressure. For more information about grinding of teeth or Bruxism visit this website: http://www.luhs.org/health/topics/oralhl...
Reply:She needs a night guard. One can be customer made for her at the dentist, or there are some at the drug stores for about 20.00. You can mold them some, but are not quite a perfect fit....however, better than nothing!


Good Luck
Reply:Try Breathe Right Nasal Strips or a band aid for her nose, so she won%26#039;t snore and a month guard or splint for her teeth.

Reply:Have you ever heard about sleep apnea? Snoring and grinding are both symptoms of this condition. Have you ever noticed her almost gasping for breath in her sleep? If you have, perhaps you should have her talk to her physician about this and perhaps have a sleep study done.





Sleep apnea is a very serious, under diagnosed problem in the world, and typically takes up to 10 years off a persons life.





Look into it. It might explain the snoring and grinding.
