A bite guard would be good but read this link about magnesium. Quite amazing stuff magnesium is.

My teeth grinding was so bad, I broke a tooth and had to have it extracted. I haven't tried magnesium, but I visited an osteopath who worked on relieving the tension in my head and neck by manipulation and massage. It worked a treat and improved things no end. Good luck.

I don't believe magnesium alone can do it. Magnesium in conjunction with a low sugar, low glycemic carb, moderate protein diet may help.
Check out www.hufa.org for a possible reason as to why you have the problem in the first place. It might be one effect of low blood sugar.

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.

Magnesium is very good I started taking it when I was quite run down some years ago, it seemed to lift me right up, give it a try.

Why not talk to your doctor?
