A member asked:

Grinding teeth (anxious) & had to cough , when i did , felt dull ache in back of head . how could i relieve the ache? massage ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Teeth grinding: Grinding can wear teeth flat, fracture them, damage the bone that supports the teeth, and damage jaw joints. Talk to you Dentist about occlusal orthotic, heat, relaxation exercises, evaluation of your occlusion. muscle relaxants, massage therapy, and referral to a therapist for your anxiety.
