usually it's caused by stress related issues; you can have your dentist fit you with a device that will save your teeth from becoming broken, cracked, weak or whittled down to nothing!

No, it is not caused by drinking too much soda pops. According to my dentist (since I grind my teeth badly) grinding happens due to mis-alignment of the jaw, or feeling restless and tense while you are sleeping. I am supposed to wear a mouth guard at night, but hate that thing. This mouthguard is similar to the ones worn by athletes to protect their teeth during contact sports.

I believe teeth grinding is usually caused by stress, but it is more likely caused by an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth. I don't think pop drinking has anything to do with it.

No...it is caused by repressed tensions from your day or your lack of sleep from drinking soda before going to bed...or a nervous habit. They make retainers you can put in your mouth to prevent this...as you will eventually grind your teeth down.

I don't think so. More likely stress. But too much pop is going to wear down your teeth way worse than grinding them. Bacteria that lives on your teeth EATS sugar................ you're feeding it.

Nope. its better to see ur dentist regarding this. this habit is called bruxism n it can cause attrition of ur teeth which is wearing down of the teeth. bruxism can lead to TMJ problems n increased sensitivity due to attrition. so its better to seek the advice of ur dentist n get a mouth guard to prevent problems.

No harm in going to bed early and getting caught up on sleep. It will make for a better Saturday.

No...It's stress related. Mouthguards work great for this.
