friend, retired dentist. says day time grinding is due to stress. shield can be used for night time grinding which is due to other illnesses and more serious. am trying ways of helping her relax. any ideas?
Chris has had AD for 10 yrs. her speech is jumbled up babble, one or two words occasionally like Yes, but no normal communication, head droops down on chest, unable to sit up unless propped up, immobile and dependant on hoist, hospital bed and ripple mattress, good appetite, fed mainly via finger food. recently started grinding her teeth in day and one crown has come off a back tooth but not in pain. rang dentist and expect a call back next week. tooth had had root treatment (nerve taken out) so shouldnt get infected.
