teeth damage due to excess grinding

[redballoons]

I just remembered this happened to a guy i was rolling with one time.

We were at a friend's house and at one point just chillen listening to music. Then we hear a loud crack. I was about 10 feet away and heard his teeth crack loud and clear. I suggest just remind yourself not to grind your teeth, try to catch yourself in the act, if gum, pacifier, etc. don't work

^ is that u? it just looks like you got your teeth shaved down to get verneers put in

not me, everybody in this thread must know that this guy has plenty of money to re build his entire mouth, and that's pretty expensive although you are a famous dj and you shit money....

Think about it... take extra care about it, you do not want a drugaddict smile like that..

cheers

Magnesium doesnt work for me< I bought a mouth guard once and it didnt last more than one night

I go with a dummy, sad but true, Id like to think its mind over mater, but if it is I have'nt cracked it yet!

I have at least 3 friends who have lost many teeth due to grinding...and they are in there 20's like me, it scares the life out of me

Have you only tried taking it the day of the event or have you tried taking it as a daily supplement?

Geez. Sounds painful. I only (mildly ) grind my teeth on really high doses and when the pills are a little dirty. Cut with speed you'll be grinding away . I almost never grind I've learned to relax and free my jaw. Now I don't use anything . I actually think it makes it worst todo so, It doesn't help with the habit. Just relax your jaw and your body learn to do that and your rolls will be less stressful on your body

I like the thought of a mouthgaurd, you might look a bit hardcore but say at a concert where people are bashing around a mouthgaurd is vital because you could get your jaw whacked and injured if you arent clenching your teeth and if your on MDMA and bashing around well your jaw should be tight!

I was going to start wearing mouthgaurds, but I dont roll so often. I found deep relaxed breathing can loosen my jaw, loosen my neck muscles etc. and keeping your jaw OPEN can help so your teeth don't touch, makes me shivver though!

I don't grind, I just clench. Binky helps a lot :3

Does chewing on something help? I was a pretty bad grinder, when I was a teen I definitely took some little chips out from grinding too hard. I don't like pacifiers, but I used to cut off the tip and chew on it. It worked better then gum, gum seems to just dissolve into a sugary mess for me, and if you're taking a walk of something, you don't have to worry about raising any suspicions. People tend to think something's up when they see grown adults with pacifiers. Personally, I hate the way they look (not judging others for it, I get it) so that was another plus.

i find it has alot to do with dose, with a moderate dose (around 100mg) its easy to remember to not be such a knob and unlock and stop grinding your teeth.

Gum may help your teeth, but when I chew gum and roll, it gives me incentive to chew more, and the insides of my cheeks get shredded.

The rave binkies are super hard, you shouldn't chew through those in a hurry, and if you do, you should buy backups just in case. They're like two bucks if you buy them online. Less if you buy them in bulk.
