Mouthguard is the best decision I ever made.

My dentist recommended that I should use a mouthguard when I sleep, because she could see my jaw was tense and that I was grinding my teeth. Which could cause cracks in my teeth further down the line. She custom fitted a mouth guard for me. After using it for three days, I wake up with no tension in my neck or jaw. It felt so weird after the first day with it, and she said it would take 2 weeks before I get used to it. Anyways... talk to a trusted dentist if you need it. Best thing I have ever done for myself is that damn mouthguard.
