[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1797112, member: 196992"] I'm so glad this info is helpful to you. It's really rewarding to help others in this way, especially as I'm not able to do much volunteer work due to my chronic fatigue and other medical conditions. Sharing info online that helps others makes me feel that some value has come out of the health problems I've had. I get a kind of moving toothache and the dentist can never identify any tooth that needs attention because of it. However, since I had a bruxism splint made and use it every night, the pain is almost gone. Bruxism is teeth grinding or clenching and it's very common. It can lead to broken teeth, infections and the wearing down of teeth to the point where the enamel is gone and problems result from that. My splint cost about the equivalent of 100 GBP. The dentist took an impression then I returned a week later to pick up the splint. I gradually wear the splint down too, my bruxism is that bad, LOL. I hate to think of that pressure on my teeth instead! Next time you see the dentist, ask them to assess whether you have bruxism and would benefit from a splint. If that's not the issue, keep searching until you find the answer. [/QUOTE]
