Teeth Filed/sanded Down And Teeth Clenching Please Read Posted: 01-27-07 09:05am


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 2 front teeth filed down alittle about 3 or 4 mm. 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? Thank u

I believe it is both sam. Clenching is definitely a stress reaction, but I believe it can be controlled. How, is the question since we are all so different and frequently it takes many different types of "treatment." the front teeth being filed could have contributed if it threw out your bite balance. If you try everything conservative that you can and you are not getting any help, you might consider caps or crowns on your front teeth to balance the bite, but I would only do that as a last resort. Last resort!!! I highly recommend stress management and posture exercises, as well as anything else your doctor recommends (splint, etc.) all the best for you. God bless... Carol
