Solution for Gritting teeth During Sleep

I get asked always why people grit their teeth during sleep? Modern medicine really doesn't have the solution, but there are theories. Stress is considered to be the main cause, so managing stress be able to aid.

Other things, such as parasites in the gut, could also cause gritting teeth while sleeping. However it's easier to prevent the grinding with an outstanding nightguard than to get rid of all stress or parasites. After all, stress is a part of life.

There are several mouthguards available that do a reasonably fine job. A good nightguard prevents the teeth from grinding, as a result reducing and often eliminating the clicking and popping sounds many individuals have with their jaw joint or TMJ, (Temporomandibular joint).
