Question

When i first use it in the morning it feels weak and sore. But then after some use it appears to be OK. Do you know what this is?

Answer 1

You might be grinding your teeth at night. Have your dentist check you for TMJ or grinding.

Answer 2

If in fact you find out that you have been grinding your teeth, it is best to reduce the stress or cause than try to use the mouth guard.

I am much advanced in age and have a worn, weakened tooth #7 and #10 because orf this. Life is too short to be unhappy!!

Answer 3

Bite lightly on a pencil or popsicle stick (Sounds crazy i know) if you can make it hurt by biting down on it directly, you may have a cracked tooth or a messed up ligament, both could be irritated if you clench or grind at night. Either way I would see the dentist and get his opinion.

Answer 4

Your probable grinding your teeth...and thats the tooth that takes all the pressure.... The dentist can give you a mouth guard to help but it wasnt easy for me to sleep with it. Try relaxing...Have you been under alot of stress lately??

Answer 5

you are probably grinding on it. See a dentist for a night guard before you damage the root soooo badly that you loose it. And wear that guard every EVERY night

Answer 6

could be you are grinding your teeth in bed see dentist for a tooth guard

Answer 7

I don't, sorry, but you should see your dentist to make sure there's nothing wrong with the root. Take care of your teeth, you only have one set

Answer 8

You probably grind your teeth...i used to do it, i grew out of it though...you could, too, but if not it could really start to affect your teeth. talk to your dentist or your orthodontist.

Answer 9
