    there are many ways to control it, depending on how severe the grinding is.

    If the teeth grinding occurs during the daytime, it is possible to be conscious about it and try not to put the upper and lower teeth tightly against each other.

    If it happens during the nighttime, these simple procedures can help for mild cases:

    Reduce stress.
    Reduce foods containing caffeine.
    Relax the chewing muscles in the evening by applying a wet and warm cloth to the face.

    If all these don’t work, the dentist can fabricate a bite splint that should be worn at night. A bite splint is an acrylic appliance that is custom made for each person. It can be worn either on the upper teeth, or the lower teeth, which helps to prevent teeth grinding when it is well adjusted by the dentist.
