Follow-Up: I have suffered from bruxism and i find that stimulants make it worse, i.e coffee, tea, cigarettes and especially alcohol. If anyone has a solution please let me know. Big bits of my teeth fall out regularly and it is very distressing especialy as dentists seem to think that i don't take care of my teeth. I am 24 years old and have had five root canal fillings already. If i sleep on my front i sometimes stop grinding. I can wake my boyfriend up with the noise.
