Could be: But then the dentist should have you wear a mouth guard at night. This really helps. You do not want to ruin your teeth so let's get going

Not Ludwigs: Not Ludwigs. Ludwigs is a life threatening infection of the floor of the mouth. If it is due to clenching, a night guard may be indicted.
