People who grind teeth while sleeping?

My friend Lucille and I were having tea the other day and she was so annoyed with the problems of grind teeth in sleep. She shared that she recently started grind teeth when she is sleeping and wakes up with a tired jaw.

So, she asked me if I know how to solve the problems because she insisted that her life is not that stressful which can cause her to grind teeth. Anyone knows why people grind teeth in their sleep? I read that children gets it too.

  1. I grind my teeth when i sleep, it can be a habit, it can be caused by stress, there are many different reasons, but you can buy night guards to stop it

  2. eurgh i hate it!
    my best mate used to do it in her sleep…. horrible sound to wake up to!!
    not sure why it happens tho

  3. TMJ

  4. it could be due to worm infection (round worms), get DE worming medicines if some one does that and see if it goes with that.

  5. I also grind my teeth–and recently my dentist told me my teeth are shifting because of it. I’m 55 and have been doing it off and on for over 20 years–I ‘m not sure but people tell me stress too–sometimes if I take a couple tylenol before bed it helps but am also thinking of getting a mouth-guard. Good luck!
