Just had a dreaded visit to my dentist, following recurring toothache. X rays and checks can find nothing that can be causing the pain, i.e. no cavities etc. Dentist said that he can see that Ive been grinding my teeth a lot and that's causing enamel erosion and extra wear and tear on existing crowns and fillings. He's taken an impression of my teeth today and is having a dental guard that I must wear at night, which is supposed to ease the damage of night time teeth grinding.
I'm not looking forward to this! I have enough trouble sleeping properly at night as it is and wonder if having a guard in my mouth all night will be uncomfortable. Has anyone else had one of these? How did you get on with it a and did it help?

I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
