I'm grinding down my teeth.
I've had bruxism for a long time, but it was mild, and I didn’t even need to use a night guard regularly. Recently, though, I’ve been constantly clenching, and I just realized that I’ve been biting my tongue too because it started hurting.
The real shock was when I noticed that the tooth next to my canine is literally chipped in two spots, like a piece of cheese, not a tooth! Another tooth has a sharp edge, but I convinced myself that it was always like that—clearly, it wasn’t. This must have happened due to the clenching.
I can't wear my night guard during the day because it affects my speech and looks really bad, so that’s not an option.
If anyone has an experience with this, send help , what do i do
