Stay calm.: People don't stop grinding. They grind due to the stresses of life...Work, family, school, relationships and perhaps sinus troubles what your dentist is trying to do is to protect your teeth from the effects of grinding or bruxing. That would be your teeth wearing down, cracking or breaking. So you have a soft or hard bite guard fabricated. This can be worn day or nite or both depending on you.

Botox, splint: Most people grind due to stress. The goal is to reduce stress, practice relaxation techniques and stretch the muscles. Otherwise there are 2 basic options: a splint which seperates the teeth and doesn't allow the muscles to contract which is usally worn at night. Or botox. I also grind my teeth and i get great results from botox, i rarely grind or clench now.
