Sarah, I’ve had about a dozen nightguards over the years for my clenching that has cracked 2 or 3 teeth. I always felt more tense and clampy wearing them. So you won’t get a nightguard recommendation from me LOL

Sound like your on it, girl!

Thanks David! I will ask for copies of x-rays of that tooth. Would love to chat further. I suspected this may have been triggered by the recently replaced amalgam to composite filling being too high.

The link you put leads to this exact page.

Thanks Hulda! There are pressure cracks in the tooth. from the large filling and evidently I clench and grind at night. Gee would have gone in for a night guard decades ago if I knew.

Thanks for the fantastic intelligent replies and suggestions! Some I have been doing. Someone suggested Black Seed oil to use topically as well. I’m thinking to try gerry rigging a castor oil compress to stay on all night.

I hear you on the tooth pain, Sarah. I had such in a lower molar for about a year with an abscess first on the lingual side, then on the buccal. Two “holistic” dentists and a “holistic” endodontist said root was cracked & infected, no way to cure, must be pulled. One of the dentists conceded that there’s no way, really, to tell if a

More. Not extremely painful. Less today than two days ago. Dull ache. But spoke just now with dentist and recommended to take antibiotics and have an extraction for this. I avoid antibiotics, and I already have a space from an extraction last July on the other side. All dental issues stemming from childhood- given antibiotics too often. 😭
