HEY! TMJ!: Keep your tongue between your teeth.Or put a squeaky toy between them. Or chew gum (better than chewing teeth).Or a toothpick (very sexy).Or stop trying to train white sharks to lick instead of bite.You under stress? I BET you are.Worse in the morning?An OTC night bite block might help.You don't want to grind them pearls into dust!Ask your dentist if your teeth are getting worn down.Get his advice
