Re: Grinding teeth at night. HELP!

For us it was definately a calcium deficiency. It has gone completely but we

use a lot of calcium to combat it.

Hi Beth, My 17 yr old daughter has ground her teeth from about

the age of 6 and has worn a night guard because of it.

Then about 4 months ago on friends advice and some of the people who

post here,I decided to try adding zinc to the supplimenting we are

doing , I started her on Opti- Zinc Methionin about once a week, She

noticed a slight improvement but it still happened, So 6 weeks ago I

increased her to twice a week and there seems to be a marked

improvement. I know there are a lot of other interconected suppliment

issues involved but adding that to our cocktail did seem to make a

noticable differance to the grinding. Hope that helps, Eileen.

once you get u to a certain level of zinc you need to add manganese,

the natures own manganese seems ok, maybe one tablet a week.

swam off the little park near sulphur creek today, the sun sparkling

on the water but cold!

solar noon is about 1.12pm where you are i think. creeps slowly

forward but from now on until about the second week of jan is the

best vitmain d if the air is clear.

to the previous poster super nu thera with its high b6 may be a

problem. to much can also affect minerals.

Hi Beth,

My son has a couple of reasons for grinding teeth. The main one

appears to be a need for zinc. Give him zinc, grinding teeth stops.

The other one appears to be silent reflux. Hard to dx because he

does not show the classic symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux.

However, reducing the acid reduces the pain and the teeth grinding

stops. (Various treatments include rx medications like Zantac; OTC

like mylantin; alternative like bicarb soda. All work!)

Can't help any further because I'm not experienced enough. Hope it

helps anyway....

Can be yeast. Can also be calcium, magnesium, and/or zinc deficiency.

He may be getting too much (or not enough) magnesium...

You can test for it. Here is one lab with a good list of tests
