Today I’m going to share the best remedies to help stop teeth grinding at night.
Grinding your teeth can lead to issues like:
• Excessive wearing of the teeth
• Teeth pain
• Headaches
• Jaw spasms
People who smoke, drink alcohol, or take SSRIs have a higher risk of teeth grinding (bruxism).
There are a few things involved in teeth grinding at night, but it seems to be largely related to the autonomic nervous system.
Bruxism is also associated with a certain variation in genetics. The gene involved is the receptor gene for serotonin. If you have this variation, you’ll have to work harder to increase the precursors of serotonin to help build it up.
Bruxism can also be triggered by various things, including:
• Stress events
• Trauma
• Excess caffeine consumption
The best natural remedies for teeth grinding:
1. Vitamin B1 (nutritional yeast)
2. Vitamin D3

[@carolynschweitzer7901]

I’m a dentist and see the effects of bruxism in 90% of my patients. There’s a big factor that you’ve missed here. Multiple well controlled, double blind studies have concluded that clenching and grinding helps open up our airway so we can breathe better. About 90% of us have inadequate space for our tongue, due to jaws that are a bit too small (so also not enough room for all the teeth to come in straight, which is why nearly every kid gets braces). So the tongue can’t find room to spread out. It can either get the room it needs by hanging out of your mouth or using the back door and occupying space in the throat. That ends up either narrowing or blocking your airway during sleep, especially if you sleep on your back. So that rise in heart rate and blood pressure that he mentions, that’s due to having to WORK to breathe. Breathing should be effortless. The brain steps in a few seconds later and triggers GRINDING which helps brace the airway open. This cycle can occur anywhere from a few to dozens of times per hour, and is at its worst during the dream phase of sleep when muscle tone is at its lowest (and airway is more collapsible). Sadly the good doctor will never see this comment.

[@laurenkalberer7789]

Thank you for your comment! I have been looking a lot into this and have the same findings. It is so frustrating to try and find an good orthodontist that focuses on airway rather than just straight teeth. I would rather have my kids keep their crooked teeth and have great sleep from nice open airways and room for their tongue, than just straight teeth and breathing/sleep issues. Sadly, the closest ortho I can find that meets MY standards is in CA and I'm in Idaho :(

[@007Bluemchen]

Great comment! I think I have just that. Also have a badly scalloped tongue which never goes away. What can someone do about this if this is what causes their clenching/grinding? 🤔

[@sevenchambers]

You’re supposed to breathe through your nose.

[@braeutchen41]

​@@sevenchambers 😂😂😂.....uhhhh yes....🤭

[@SampurnaASMR]

@@braeutchen41 It's actually right. I used to grind a lot and I had a friend who had this issue too but doesn't anymore, she asked me if I breathe through my nose or mouth. That's when it hit me, I breathe a lot through my mouth which is not sufficient or proper which ends up triggering the grinding issue more. Since I started training myself to actively breathe through my nose when I'm awake, my grinding has gotten less intense and aggressive. I also actively try not to clench or tense my jaws.

I have been grinding my teeth since I was a child. My dentist told me decades ago when I asked him why I do it, that "it starts off as stress, and then becomes habit". This was all before I ever smoked, drank, or was prescribed antidepressants, but I definitely was stressed out about what was happening at home.

[@IloveCamels335]

Same here. Ever since I was a little kid I was grinding my teeth. Had no stress back then, healthy living situation, good nutrition, out in nature, no smoking ever. Drinking yes but only decades later. Never took any medications or antidepressants or other drugs. I live in a very sunny climate and I have high vitamin D status I test regularly. Have been taking B1 for a long time (for a different reason). Still i grind my teeth. I hope this advise might help someone but for me personally none of this is the solution.

Dentist here 👋 What a fascinating correlation between teeth grinding and vitamin B deficiencies. Mind blown 🤯. I will definitely be looking into this more. For most of my patients who grind their teeth, I usually find that they also have some form of sleep apnea as well. Difficulty breathing at night seems to trigger those sympathetic pathways. Great content! 👍

[@lindapelle8738]

I have severe TMD, and rigeminal neuralgia. I also I’m thinking that maybe I have sleep apnea, is there a mouthguard you can recommend that would help with sleep apnea and TMJ pain as well? As a dentist I thought maybe you could recommend some thing that would help both. My lower jaw recedes and the best appliance I ever had was one that pulled the lower jaw forward. Tried a few other dentists who couldn’t replicate it, first one no longer around. Thank you

I found that if i move my lower jaw forward, kind of like exaggerating an underbite as far foreard as i can, it streches the jaws tendons and the click goes away. Also of you feel under your jaw, you will feel many tendons that go from below the jaw and sown the neck. By pushing up under your jaw with your fingers, and bringing you head up, you van stretch those muscles and tendons also. Good luck!

Great topic and explanation of what is happening. Explains a lot

[@odetteuiw]

In my career as a naval oral surgeon I see many patients with this routinely. Mostly caused by the stressful lives of active duty sailors and not having a great stress reduction protocol hopping in bed at night. Also happens a lot more frequently in brachyfacial patients with with a square jaw, flat occlusal plane, leading to shortened masseters that can generate significantly more force when biting as opposed to say a dolichofacial patient. Warm compress and deep tissue masseter massages work great at night before bed, but also Botox therapy works wonders to decrease the amount of force generated and alleviate muscle soreness and wearing of teeth and works great for many of my sailors who can’t be on long term muscle relaxers. You can also have an internal derangement of the TMJs that can cause masseter spasms during the day or night which can lead to nocturnal bruxism. Certainly multifaceted.

I have chronic nocturnal bruxism. To the point where all my teeth are flat and my canines look like they were sawed off about halfway up the tooth. My dentist says I have the most severely worn teeth out of any of his patients, including people in their 70s and 80s. (I'm only 36). Already supplement with D3 but will give B1 a try. Thanks!

[@jasonolaivar2777]

I treat this orthodontically. It all comes back to stressed breathing from small jaws (midfacial hypoplasia) the "chattering" is the epi genetic signaling to grow (activates stem cells in that sutures) A compromised airway increases cortisol and prevents true rem sleep. The adaptation to a nrem sleep allows parafunction such as bruxism. Usually, bruxism is just trying to get your lower teeth in front of the uppers to get your tongue out of the throat. (Think sleep apnea) But upper airway resistance is a whole other discussion. It's too complicated to type here, but I'd be happy to help connect some dots with Dr. Berg

Thank you so much, Dr. Berg for all the amazing information you always provide in your videos. I'm a 47 years old male and I've been grinding my teeth ever since I was a child. My 7-year old daughter also grinds her teeth every night ever since she was 3 or 4. I sometimes can hear her teeth grinding from my bedroom while she's sleeping in her bedroom. I'm taking 7,500 IUs of Vitamin D3, Vitamin B-Complex and B12 tablets daily. Looks like Bruxism is running in my family. Should I give the same Vitamins to my daughter as well? Thank you very much.

[@powerband5235]

[@maryclark1049]

Thanks Dr. Berg👍🏻 I actually ruined one of my molars by bruxing, and also from the horrible morning sickness I had with my pregnancies which caused me to be able to eat very little in my first trimesters and resulted in me lacking in nutrients. It would have been great if I'd known better during my pregnancies. Live and learn.

Dr. Berg, does Vitamin K2 is connected with White Teeth and Teeth Enamel ? Thanks ! 🙏

[@laurenhuntsinger9170]

What causes it is early childhood trauma. It is the result of the fight/flight reaction in the brain. Little children, who are scared and have no coping skills, turn all of that fear inward. When the subconscious takes over at night, it is scared also. This totally effects the nervous system. Mental health care need, also. It's the heart/brain. It begins in the development of a child's brain. That is what causes it. Trauma Brain Response is what I call it.

[@NatashaRobinson412]

Hi I totally agree- thanks for your comment ! 🌸👱🏼‍♀️🌸

[@TrinhTran-lh5on]

Can you elaborate?

[@katisugarbaker7349]

I agree. Always vigilant. Even when you think you’re not. And these days, with the political and social atmosphere in which innocent people are attacked just for being Caucasian and others harassed for not getting experimental jabs, crime on the rise even in small cities like where I live, and 4 people died suddenly in our tiny 25 home circle of townhouses from heart attacks and strokes, and what the hell. The trauma never ends. Yes I can sleep in total darkness while the rampant burglaries are made easier by my lack of outdoor lighting. Never safe. Even with therapy and spiritual work. These last few years have been true hell. But still, the crazies keep the demons in power. Their Stockholm syndrome traumatizes a whole society. Their need to pretend to be good makes so much bad expand.

[@nadiablack4797]

I do it and I had an idyllic childhood with zero trauma, trust me no one was more happy than I in childhood so there has to be something else.

[@kenlounders5399]

Being involved with bruxism for most of my life I found almost no connection to childhood trauma as a cause in the majority of these cases. Although I am not totally discounting that there may be some individuals that may fall along these lines. Stress is certainly one of the causes of more intense episodes of bruxism . But bruxism in our ancestors was what kept some of them alive . Most every person alive either clenches or clenches and grinds. At night , our teeth come together enough to keep them where they belong . I call it the recalibration time. Teeth must touch it’s opposite arches teeth in order to stop erupting. To extract the most nutrition from certain diets our ancestors with flatter teeth were able to grind food better. Some animals have very flat teeth. With our more modern diet this genetically selected habit may not be needed. And many of us have seen more intense clenching and clenching in grinding during stressful times. Our politicians don’t really care about the stress they cause because it gives them what they want. Control. But if the things they want to worry us are causing us to increase bruxism then think of what it is doing to our minds and bodies that we don’t know about. A lot to unpack here. I know. Not everyone deals with this daily. But some of us do.

[@sarahkirbach5040]

I’ve had it as long as I can remember and cannot wear anything to help with it. I wake up grinding my teeth & sometimes chewing my tongue (not bad enough to wound myself but still). I don’t smoke but used to. I don’t drink alcohol and I’m not on any meds. This is helpful. Thanks

Teeth grinding runs in my family and even in kids. Overtime it misaligns the jaws and eventually in my case cause sleep apnea because my tongue blocks my airways. I had jaw pain for years and dentists saw the erosion of my teeth but hardly understood its impact on my health. I will get the supplements. Thank you for educating us.

great video. However, since grinding happens when you are at sleep and often you won't wake up with headache or pain, how do you know if it proves or not?

[@slambangwallop]

I had an oral cancer scare from bruxism ,and you know I've actually been taking natural forms of both supplements for a month. I've also got tinnitus in the ear beside the side of my jaw that clicks a lot, particularly as braces in my younger years (due to thumb-suckling before that, it seems) means I have a general overbite, and I notice that the nerves on that same side of my face don't seem to all work. I'm convinced that crushing the teeth back is terrible for other parts of the head! I have TMJ disorder but I sleep alone so I don't know is it's working. But since taking Lion's Mane as well, I feel like it has cleared some tiny clots stuck on that side of my head (the side I used my phone on until I learned that radiation could interfere!) as I'm now able to feel things if I massage my head on that same side. I'm trying to get rid of a polyp in my nose on that side in another way too, not sure how. And I just got my prolactin levels tested, not sure why as they wouldn't tell me, but it'd be interesting if drinking ten cups of tea as a child ("to help my teeth and bones" actually calcified the pineal gland, and led to blockages in the calcium ion channel to the detriment of serotonin! As well as TMJ disorder and lots of other stress interfering in sleep in affecting the entire parasympathetic system. Fluoride is so annoying!!

I've had this teeth grinding since I was I kid. My mom would tell me how she could hear me grinding my teeth from outside my room. I've never smoked, never drink alcohol, but I'm usually very anxious, nervous and stressed. I'm 20 years old now, and I have to wear that plastic cover to avoid damage, but I still have pain in my jaw. Also I have the inside of my cheecks always midly bitten and dry lips. I will take a DNA and blood tests and start taking B1 and D3 if needed. And will update this comment with the results, thanks for you work.

I had a version of bruxism pretty violently actually. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what it was it was so bad it felt like I got punched in the head all night long. At that time I was drinking a lot of mountain dew. This is about 8 years ago. When I went keto The chopping of teeth at night vanished. I do drink a lot of coffee so in my case it wasn't the caffeine that was causing it.

[@starryluma1806]

Hi Dr. Berg! I have been clenching and grinding for 40+ years. I definitely think stress is the main cause of mine and fluctuates accordingly. I lost 4 family members in 2022 and my grinding has now lead to my jaw popping out of position on my one side. I’ve been taking B1 and D3 for a long time and have not noticed a change in my grinding. I don’t drink or smoke. Would love to have a fix to all this as my dentist has encouraged me to wear a mouth guard during the day in addition to night and I prefer not to do that. Praying this regimen of vitamins works well for others. I think the best remedy for me is to learn how to de-stress.

[@fkthelefties]

Got to be stress as the main cause. I'm 53, a worrier, dont smoke, and i dont drink to excess. I cant get on with a full or partial mouth guard. Your remedy sounds the best way forward.:)

[@Vanessalele]

Try Botox it helps

[@LLCoolJ_25]

The issue with wearing it during the day…is if you’re going to an office somedays.🫠 Sure, I’ll just take my dental guard out with all that saliva to talk to my boss, lol. Then I’ll put it back in constantly throughout the work day. I know I’m being too literal. I know they are probably meaning where you can. Anyways, I relate. I am a stressed person in general. I think I have a stress addiction and I get all my worrying from my dad’s side. Somehow have to find a way to destress from work, even though you’re dealing with psychopathic behavior constantly.
