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?
Unless you're under 30, it should be pretty obvious to the dentist examining you if you have been grinding for a significant period of time.
