Dentist

I had my appointment at 11.20am yesterday with the dentist. He took an xray of my teeth on the right side of my mouth, where the problem is. He told me that the problem is basically down to me grinding my teeth. I've been doing that for years, since I was little mostly in my sleep, but I used to grind them when I was awake too. The treatment today was to simply grind my bad teeth down a bit and I surprised when almost all of the pain went. He told me that if the pain remains or gets worse in the next two weeks I have to go back and he'll either have to do root canal (no thanks) or get me a mouth guard to wear when I'm asleep to stop me from grinding my teeth in my sleep.
