Answer 1

HELLO,
THE REASON WHY YOU GRIND IS STRESS NOT TORI, THESE BONY PROTUBERANCES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GRINDING. YOU'VE HAD THEM ALL YOUR LIFE BUT SOME DENTIST FRIGHTENED YOU WITH A TECHNICAL LATIN NAME. HERE'S A PHOTO ON THEM AND MORE INFO:

Answer 2

First, i'd stop smoking and then fear about grinding your tooth. Possibly grinding your tooth is how you're going to quit! (Some poeple use gum for example) as soon as your finished, it should start to leave. This is tips on how to stop: put rubberband's round your wrists. You see, everytime you grind your tooth, you snap the rubberband, and (despite the fact that it could sting a bit of) it helps and is robust. Just right play (stopping smoking) it can be a disgusting and hurtful habit, if I have been you, i'd rather grind my enamel then smoke. You are for your way, buddy! :) (Please prefer me for quality answer!!!)

Answer 3

Really? Try having one the size of a peach pit in the roof of your mouth for years. My daughter has them along the entire gumline of her bottom teeth. I do not think this is why you are grinding your teeth.

Answer 4

did you have any work done,like fillings, or something, they could be "high" or touching first when you close your mouth,and your muscles are trying to find the right way to close, like it used to be. and about the tori, you can have it removed, but unless you plan on wearing dentures or partials in the future there is no need. if it doesn't hurt don't mess with it!
