I visited the dentist today because of a chipped tooth, and he informed me that my teeth are characteristic of someone who engages in bruxism (tooth grinding and/or clenching), which would explain why I had a chipped tooth despite the fact that I rarely eat hard foods and don't engage in sports. What a slap in the face. As if it isn't enough that a 21 year old (who is fastidious with dental hygiene, btw) has the TMS manifestations of RSI and IBS, am I now destined to grind my teeth away? The dentist has recommended some sort of mouth splint, which will cost me approx. $450. I could get it through a healthcare scheme for $200, but I've read some literature which suggests that these things do diddly do daa. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
