Hi my name is Christina, Im almost 22 years old and I grind my teeth in my sleep (ever since I was young). The past 4+ years Ive had minor TMJ, just the painless clicking in my jaw and misaligned overbite. The past couple of weeks Ive notice that my gum on one of my front tooth is receding. I have 2 questions
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have problem of grinding of teeth, recession of gingival and TMJ these all are due to grinding of teeth don't be worry so much I will suggest you to go to orthodontist and go for Night guard, by wearing night guard problem of TMJ and gingival recession will reduce.  Go for proper treatment by consulting orthodontist, don't take stress, take proper sleep of 8 hours, stress is main factor of night grinding be relaxed and maintain proper oral hygiene. Hope it will help you.  Wishing you good health. Regards
