One morning I woke up and my entire mouth ached. It seemed like every tooth hurt. Ibuprofen helped a little bit but I was really suffering. I called my mom because what else do you do when you are hurting. She has a good friend who is a dentist. I spoke to her friend the dentist and she told me I was probably grinding my teeth at night. She suggested I go to a sporting goods store and purchase a mouth guard. People who play contact sports use mouth guards. You can buy them for a dollar or two. You soak the mouth guard in hot water and then put it in your mouth so it fits to the shape of your mouth. I put the mouth guard in my mouth every night before I went to sleep and in a few days the pain was gone.



Now, if you use the mouth guard for a few days and you are still experiencing pain, you will need to see your dentist. At least though, you will have eliminated the possibility that the problem is from grinding your teeth. Also, if teeth grinding is a recurring problem you may want to have a custom guard made for yourself. At least though you have a temporary solution until the guard is made.
