The point one should not miss is this:

Hi Dartos,

How far "we" have come ...

You already know what my preferred method of treatment is.)

Talk about a win-win situation ... who'd a thunk-it "back then"? ;-)

My dentist seems to think I am grinding my teeth at night.
I have never noticed myself doing this, but I don't think I do. I
don't do it during the day...

The dentist didn't seem to be sure that I was, only speculating.

Is there any way to know for sure if I do or not?

I resisted the suggestion to wear a night guard because I once had a
thing made for my mouth, to wear at night, for whitening my teeth, and
I found it very hard to sleep with it, even after trying it for a
couple weeks. In the end, I decided to discontinue it anyway due to
the fact that as I increased the % of active ingredient in the gel per
instructions, it hurt my teeth like hell! My teeth ended up hurting
like hell for several days after I wore the gel one night with the
increased solution, so at that point I just stopped using it.

Anyway, as far as grinding goes, my main question is, how do I know if
Im grinding or not?
And is there any way to deal with it other than to wear something in
my mouth at night?
