Night-Time Bruxism Develops Annoying Habits During The Day
Posted on 26. Feb, 2008 by Ben in Grinding Teeth
Today I spent the entire day with a newfound habit — one that is truly annoying. I kept running my tongue over my teeth, because my teeth actually felt sore. I wondered if teeth could feel sore, and then I realised that it really felt like something had been filing them down. When my upper and lower teeth touched, there was this sensation of rawness, and it got so uncomfortable that I flattened my tongue and bit on it, just so that it would form a sort of cushion between my upper and lower teeth.
About Me:
Hi, my name's Ben, and I'm a long-time sufferer of bruxism - a condition in which I grind on my teeth all night long, causing me to wake up with a sore jaw and have occasional headaches. I started this site to journal my experience with bruxism and my progress to finding a cure.
