Hi I wanted some advice....About two front
teeth being filed down
i have been having alot of problems with
teeth clenching...The clenching started
wen I was very stressed and depressed due
to a throat problem which lasted along
time...It turned me into a hyperchondriac
constantly worrying about my health. I
would constanly clench my back teeth
during the day wen feeling anxious....
Now I realised that im clenhcing at night
as well...As I wake up with head/ear/jaw
pain...Im trying to get my self outa this
habbit...
I have stoped clenching during the day
although I do get a urge to do so
sometims. However at night the clenching
is still an issue im due to get a
mouthguard for my bottom teeth.
But im worrying about something which I
wanted ur opinion about...
Before the stress and depression and
clenching habbit...I had my two front
teeth filed down alittle about 3 or 4 mm
to even it out. Could the fact that I
had my two front teeth filed be the cause
of my clennching or am I worrying for no
reason?
I cant stop thinking that if the clenching
is caused by my two front teeth being
filed down I wont be able to stop this
habbit as my teeth wont go back to how
they were.
Or is it jus a learned habbit caused by
stress?
I know all this sounds petty and silly but
im very distressed at moment I would be
grateful for any replys. I jus need some
reassurance that the clenching is habbit
caused by stress and not the fact that my
front teeth were filed.
Has any1 else had any similar problems by
having thier two front teeth filed down?
Has any1 else had their teeth filed or knw
of anyone whos had it done?
Do u think its due to stress or due to my
teeth being filed?
