Grinding teeth
I have been grinding teeth for a long time. And my canine teeth are wearing off. I don't know which doctor to consult.
Is it due to stress? Dental problem? Or worm in my stomach.? Please help

mouth guards cover your upper teeth only, but in some instances, your dentist will make a mouth guard for the lower teeth as well.
Or on examination if for single tooth dentist can advise you rct

Hello sir,
Grinding of teeth occurs due to stress... Consult a Dentist and get a night gaurd which you have to wear it during night times... You need to reduce stress... Because if you prolong with this habit your teeth will get completely attrited and you will have severe sensitivity and jaw pain... Do as soon as possible...
