hello. i have small holes which also have cavities in them located on most of my bottom teeth right on the gum line. I noticed a few months ago that I grind my teeth. Is this the cause? Ive gotten fillings before but they just fall out in a matter of weeks. I do no have insurance to cover my bills for the dentist until recently I found out I am pregnant so I will eventually qualify for medicate after they approve me. But this can take a long time. What can I do in the mean time? Should I try to work something out with my dentist? What do you suggest?
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, Grinding of teeth is known as bruise in which a person intentionally or unintentionally grind his teeth especially at night.  It can be a result of bad bite or can occur due to psychological factors like stress. I would suggest you to get a checkup done. If it is due to bad bite it can be corrected. It can be treated with an appliance called as night guards. Take care!
