Grinding teeth

[Iriemama]

Anyone know of a treatment for teeth-grinding? I wear a bite plate but that only prevents damage from being done to my teeth. I need to find some sort of therapy that would nip the problem in the but, my jaw can only handle so much and my morning headaches are just getting progressively worse!

What about addressing the root problem? Stressed out?

I've got the same problem as you Iriemama. I wear a special bite plate to protect my teeth, but a lot of damage was done to my teeth over the years.

I have been doing some research, and it seems that taking magnesium and calcium supplementation might help, as this can relax the nervous system. I have heard of cases being helped like this, ie. Gary Null (check out his dental essays on his website).

I am looking to try magnet therapy to the back of the head as another method. Just have to locate some healing magnets. Gary Null has written an excellent book on therapeutic use of magnets.

I wouldn't mind trying neurolinguistic programming too.
