Accepted Answer

: You should speak to your dentist about fabricating a custom bruxism guard. This will help prevent wear and tear on your teeth and TMJ, but will not stop you from clenching or grinding. Ask your physician for a referral to a therapist. You need to talk out your anxieties and receive counseling on how to deal with your issues.
