I clench my jaw when I'm stressed or mad - which kills my teeth! They hurt more lately thanks to anxiety which makes me think I must be grinding my teeth at night. I thought I might have a cavity but the dentist didn't say anything at my last check-up.
Are you a grinder?!

Yes. I have to wear a mouth guard to sleep when I'm stressed out or I'll wake up with a headache.

I used to be, but I don't think so as of lately. The hubby is a HUGE teeth grinder though.

Yup - only when I get stressed out. I was on Zoloft for PPD and one common side effect from Zoloft is grinding teeth so I recently had to switch meds because I was getting daily headaches from grinding my teeth so much every night

I grind them at night. My DH says it can wake him out of a dead sleep!

I'm a grinder! I really need a mouth guard for nighttime. I've had to get my front teeth filled because I was wearing down the enamel. Ugh.

I'm a terrible grinder! I grind in my sleep and often wake up with jaw ache. I also grind when I'm stressed or concentrating - the worst is when I'm driving! Sometimes I'll catch myself grinding my teeth along to a tune in my head.... very weird.

Yes, I definitely grind my teeth when I sleep. I used to grind my teeth so much that I busted the wire in my retainers. Now I have a nightguard.

Yes, a terrible grinder. I clench my jaw when I'm stressed or anxious, and I grind my teeth at night. I had to get a filling because I ground one of my molars down till it cracked. I have a nightguard but somehow manage to take it out in my sleep all the time!?!? I once woke up and found it all the way across the room.

I'm a clencher. I wake up with sore teeth and sometimes headaches. I had an nti, which only sits on your front teeth and that really helped but then it messed up my bite and I couldn't fully close my jaw so I couldn't bite thru really thin things like lettuce leaves. I quit using the nti and my bite is back to normal but now my teeth are sore again.

Only in my sleep when I'm super stressed or having vivid nightmares.
