We try to do this as a group at least once a quarter. It's a great way to give back to the community, and fosters community building between the Navy and the public at the same time, said Reynolds. Chief Logistics Specialist (SW/AW) Renee Reed is a veteran of several previous Habitat projects. This is a great opportunity for the chief petty officers and first class petty officers to use for mentoring and bonding time, said Reed.
Stress is considered to be the biggest cause, so managing stress can help. Other things, such as parasites in the gut, can also cause gritting teeth while sleeping. But it's easier to stop the grinding with a good night guard than to get rid of all stress or parasites. After all, stress is a part of life. There are many mouth guards available that do a pretty good job.
Tooth pain can be caused by a dental problem, such as a cavity or gum disease, or by a non-dental problem, such as a sinus infection. But some types of tooth pain are caused by stress. If you're stressed to the point of clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth, you can develop tooth pain associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The TMJ is the joint that hinges the lower jaw to the skull, enabling you to eat and talk.
