Grinding Teeth while I Sleep :(

Grinding Teeth while I Sleep :(


Help!  The past few nights I have had little sleep due to the pain and discomfort of my teeth.  I am only in pain at night when I'm laying in bed.  I finally had enough, and went to the dentist this afternoon.   I am grinding my teeth and that is what is causing all this discomfort.  

Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of night guard I should buy?  My dentist recommended to buy one at CVS/Walgreens.  I guess, custom made ones from the dentist are not covered my insurance and can be pricey!  

I was also told that Alieve would help with the pain and discomfort.   Anyone please suggestions, I greatly appreciate any help.  I need to sleep tonight!

Seeing a competent tmj specialist is advised. Over the counter night guard is not helpful, it may cause more problem. A well fabricated night guard by a skillful dentist can eliminate bruxism.
