How do I stop clenching my jaw at night?

Every night I clench my jaw real tight all night long in my sleep, I can’t help it. I don’t grind it, just clench. By the morning the whole right side of my face is in pain. I’m using ice right now to relax the closing muscle on dentists advice and I have access to strong painkillers thank god. I even notice myself doing it at work sometimes. I’m not particularly stressed but I do drink a lot of coke. Does anyone else experience this or know how to stop doing it?

How do I stop clenching my jaw at night?

Answer #1

coke has to relevance to the clenching at night. unless your thirsty at night. I cant believe your dentist didn’t suggest nightguards. ask about them. its like wearing alight sportsguard when your sleeping. theres really not much you can do about it while your sleeping. they say its linked to stress. perhaps focus on that, which may reduce the problem. good luck
