Hi

you could try Australian bush flower essences or Homeopathy for it. Try the Society of Homeopaths to find your nearest one.

I must concur with Robin.  It is likely to be Parasitic.  Always seek to understand what the aetiology (root cause) is.  Do not treat the symptoms!

Read Doug Kaufmann's book "The Fungus Link"

Enjoy your journey to optimum health.

With love and Qi

There is some thought that having TMJ work done (intraoral massage) helps this condition by relaxing the chewing muscles.  In a sort of chicken and egg argument, experts are unsure whether bruxism is the start or result of tight muscles - that is, some clench and grind because the jaw is tight, so as to "scratch an itch".  Obviously the jaw gets tighter with clenching and grinding.  A tooth guard will help to protect your teeth, but does little to cure the problem.  See a massage therapist who is comfortable with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) work.

Hello Rosie,

            All of my adult life dentists have told me that I grind my teeth...I always contested the idea because like you no-one I had ever shared a bed or a room with had ever mentioned it NOR did I have any of the symptoms,headache, sore jaw or stiff neck on waking. 

I always thought it due to the odd sliding motion I have when I chew.  I have asked for the dentist to "wire me up" with electrodes placed on my jaw to record the chewing action....and get a print out  but have had no success.....

I might add that no dentist has ever acknowledged that my view could be correct.

  In the old days bruxism in children was put down to internal parasites ...

If you wanted to get some treatment I would recommend to start with the physical body and make sure that all the bones of your head and neck sre in the right place Bowen therapy first off  (works on muscles and tendons and is not invasive or painful)

Next I would suggest a brand of chiropractic that's called Cranio -Sacral balancing...they can adjust the cranial bones again non invasive and not painful.

Alays ask around to see who has a good reputation  and when you ring speak to the practitioner and ask a few questions...

 Do they think the treatment will help...have they treated this before.. how many treatments do they think it will take?  etc.

Shop around.

 Trouble here is that if you are unaware of the grinding and your dentist has a particular view and the only treatment he has in his repetoire is to sell you an expensive mouth splint  how are you going to assess if the treatments have been successful?

Finally I would strongly suggest an amazing technique called EFT.   It may take a huge philosophical leap for you but it will be very much worth it.  The Founding web site is called emofree.com...and if you do an internal search of the site I am sure you will come up with case histories of others who have used EFT for teeth grinding...then you can either see a practitioner  and there are many  or you can learn the technique your self for free.

Dont be put off because the thing seems so fantastical.It just involves tapping a sequence of acpuncture points while you talk about the problem you want to fix.

 I have used each of the therapies I have mentioned with success for a  years .. the EFT will do it on its own  but it is always good to give the body a "service".

Waste no further time. Invest in a set of gum shields. You can buy them from a medical store like a pharmacist, or you can get them cheaper from a sports store. In this case you need to address the symptoms while you deal with the cause. If you are damaging your teeth you have to act now and stop the damage. I live in the States and we have a Wal-Mart store here. A set of shields in the sports section costs only $1.50.
