That is not really what I said....I cannot write here what I thought!!! I am a clencher and a grinder. I have lost all my molars on the bottom right side of my mouth and 2 on the top right. I have a bridge on the top left because I broke all of those molars from clenching and grinding and now I am in danger of losing another molar that has multiple cracks in it.
I hold all my stress in my jaws, neck and shoulders. I cannot tell you how many time my neck has gotten stuck and will not move from tension. I don't necessarily feel stressed. But evidently I am. I have tried many ways to reduce the stress, yoga, prayer, meditation, etc....unfortunately I get stressed because I am not practicing these things regularly, well enough, properly, etc.etc. etc......
So in one hour, I am heading out to the dentist and becoming a queen for the day. I will wear my crown proudly LOL.
Egads! I hate going to the dentist. And I haven't been for quite some time. Kind of like going to the doctor. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula. The temporary crown is in and I go back for the permanent one on the 15th of next month.
DeleteI grind too in my sleep. I use a bite guard. Ain't stress grand....
ReplyDeleteLovely R......
I bruxated right through my bite guard years ago and the insurance only pays for one per lifetime. Something else to stress about LOL.
