At one time I did it. The Dentist told me I was doing it and wanted me to buy a night guard. I have spent so much money on dentistry in my life I could have put two kids through college. That is another profession that needs caps put on hourly rates.

Teeth grinding is a subconscious result of severe stress in ones life.

Yes...my teeth are worn down.

We have Others that grind more than others. Some just clench which does it's damage, too.

suggestion teeth guards are not only prescribed. you can get them in stores where sports equipment, bikes, skate boards are sold. they usually cost less then 5 bucks if bought this way and you can mold them your self. they are just mold able rubber that you soak in hot water then put in your mouth over and around your teeth. the modeling rubber hardens into the shape of your mouth and teeth in just a few seconds to minutes. then you take it out. then you put it in any time you feel your teeth need protecting. this is what I did when I did not have insurance and a dentist that prescribed it on insurance billing.

now that I have dental insurance my dentist just ordered me one as part of prescribing other dental needs.

which leads me to my other suggestion contact your dentist and have him prescribe the mouth guard and bill your insurance.

so you are already on your states medical insurance plan. (thinking back to another of your posts where you were hoping you could get on SSI/SSDI and your comment that it might mean better treatment providers) now that I know you are already on your states medical insurance program if you got the SSI you were talking about in a past post you would have the same treatment providers and same medicaid.
