Today I’m going to share the best remedies to help stop teeth grinding at night.

Grinding your teeth can lead to issues like:
• Excessive wearing of the teeth
• Teeth pain
• Headaches
• Jaw spasms

People who smoke, drink alcohol, or take SSRIs have a higher risk of teeth grinding (bruxism).

There are a few things involved in teeth grinding at night, but it seems to be largely related to the autonomic nervous system.

Bruxism is also associated with a certain variation in genetics. The gene involved is the receptor gene for serotonin. If you have this variation, you’ll have to work harder to increase the precursors of serotonin to help build it up.

Bruxism can also be triggered by various things, including:
• Stress events
• Trauma
• Excess caffeine consumption

The best natural remedies for teeth grinding:
1. Vitamin B1 (nutritional yeast)
2. Vitamin D3

I’m a dentist and see the effects of bruxism in 90% of my patients. There’s a big factor that you’ve missed here. Multiple well controlled, double blind studies have concluded that clenching and grinding helps open up our airway so we can breathe better. About 90% of us have inadequate space for our tongue, due to jaws that are a bit too small (so also not enough room for all the teeth to come in straight, which is why nearly every kid gets braces). So the tongue can’t find room to spread out. It can either get the room it needs by hanging out of your mouth or using the back door and occupying space in the throat. That ends up either narrowing or blocking your airway during sleep, especially if you sleep on your back.

So that rise in heart rate and blood pressure that he mentions, that’s due to having to WORK to breathe. Breathing should be effortless. The brain steps in a few seconds later and triggers GRINDING which helps brace the airway open. This cycle can occur anywhere from a few to dozens of times per hour, and is at its worst during the dream phase of sleep when muscle tone is at its lowest (and airway is more collapsible).

Sadly the good doctor will never see this comment.

I have had extreme Bruxism for 20 years, the damage to my teeth has brought tears to my eyes and has made sleep time extremely scary for me. I’ve was hopeless because I would clench through my night guard. I finally found this video and after taking b1 thymine I am on day 15 without any symptoms of clenching at night. I can’t believe it, truly life changing for me. Thank you

I have bruxism and do not drink alcohol, smoke, etc. I did test low for D3 and have started a regimen. I have a plastic piece I wear and no longer have teeth pain. Kudos to my dentist who discovered this as I would wake up and have bitten the inside of my cheek. Thanks for addressing this condition. Self education is necessary for taking care of the mind body and spirit!

[lighteningstorm]

Oh my God it works! I started taking B1, D3 & K2 and my bruxism is gone! I don't think my dentist believes me but finally after 35 years I finally got actual help! Thank you so much Dr. Berg!

[ministryofpeacekmk]

I have been grinding my teeth since I was a child. My dentist told me decades ago when I asked him why I do it, that "it starts off as stress, and then becomes habit". This was all before I ever smoked, drank, or was prescribed antidepressants, but I definitely was stressed out about what was happening at home.

[joans]

Dentist here. Grinding your teeth can also be from parasites. I have my patients do a parasite cleanse first to rule that out. A small airway can also make you brux. Magnesium glycinate at night can help with the physical stress, as well.

[drock]

Dr. Berg, you are a gem, a blessing, an outstanding citizen. Thank you for your passion!

[Ed]

Dr. Berg should get a Nobel Prize or something for finding root causes for many health issues and helping millions of people.

[sakura_sun]

Already taking B1, D3 in optimal doses and yes it helps significantly. Also incorporating Magnesium at night time.

[wonderwoman]

Hygienist here! So many patients have bruxism now more than ever! I also recommend Magnesium glycinate 400mg with D3/K2 and a fat at night. Plus nutritional yeast during the day. Also one of the many symptoms of sleep apnea is bruxism.

I had this problem last year for quite some time. Definitely stress and inability to relax, even when sleeping. What helped me was switching bedsides with my husband back to the side that feels more natural to me. I felt instant relaxation and slept like a baby ever since. Something to consider. No more jaw/teeth clenching and pain.

[laurenhuntsinger]

What causes it is early childhood trauma. It is the result of the fight/flight reaction in the brain. Little children, who are scared and have no coping skills, turn all of that fear inward. When the subconscious takes over at night, it is scared also. This totally effects the nervous system. Mental health care need, also. It's the heart/brain. It begins in the development of a child's brain. That is what causes it. Trauma Brain Response is what I call it.

I have been bruxjng for the last 40 years of my life. I am now 53. My jaw muscles are like steel. I can bite thru cables that hold up bridges! 😁
My teeth are slightly damaged, I do wear a splint most nights.
I hope these remedies help me, and if it does work, I will personally fly over to the US, and shake your hand, Dr. Berg. Who am I kidding, I'll hug you and kiss you on the face! 😘

[pinarofdag]

I used to suffwr Bruxism till I almost recently( I am almost 52)..The moment I have eliminated the stress at work, my complaints diminished ..Thanks Dr. Berg. We all learn so much through you almost every day.. Regards from Istanbul..

[tonymickens]

I'm 62 and have Suffered with Bruxism since Age 11, needless to say I Now suffer from Constant Tinnitus, Broken Molars, Gum Pain, exc and I've Tried Everything to No Avail.

I started taking these two suggested vitamins last week after watching this video. I'm not sure how quickly they are supposed to start working, but After i started taking the B1 in the morning and D3 before bed, i realized today that my ears stopped humming. The teeth grinding was causing my ears to hum constantly throughout the day. Maybe it was all mental, but it went away after taking your advice...so thank you for this! ❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️

Dr. Berg, love you so much, I was a chronically afflicted by bruxism, low GI motility, night sweat and other problems for decades. Recent years I have realized that I was and still be deficient in vitamin D and vitamin B1. And you're the first one that coincide with my finding!

Jaw tension is also connected to your hips. If you have tight hip flexors, you'll likely also have tight tmj. It's helped me a lot to do hip stretches

In my career as a naval oral surgeon I see many patients with this routinely. Mostly caused by the stressful lives of active duty sailors and not having a great stress reduction protocol hopping in bed at night. Also happens a lot more frequently in brachyfacial patients with with a square jaw, flat occlusal plane, leading to shortened masseters that can generate significantly more force when biting as opposed to say a dolichofacial patient. Warm compress and deep tissue masseter massages work great at night before bed, but also Botox therapy works wonders to decrease the amount of force generated and alleviate muscle soreness and wearing of teeth and works great for many of my sailors who can’t be on long term muscle relaxers. You can also have an internal derangement of the TMJs that can cause masseter spasms during the day or night which can lead to nocturnal bruxism. Certainly multifaceted.
