Hi

Me again.

Just wonder if bruxism can be aggraveted by some meds??? I went to the dentist, and it seems that my enamel is pretty bad, I will have to wear a occlusal cap splint (I don't know if it's the right term) in the night.

What does it means? What can I do to not have bruxism???

Allure

Yes, it's true. Bruxism can be made worse by some meds, ie. Paxil. I grind too. The only thing you can do is wear something to protect your teeth. Oh, btw stress makes it worse as well. Check out something called an NTI device (google it) that you wear on your front top teeth only. I find it better than the regular teeth gaurds and it actually helps to reduce grinding over time.
