How do you know if your grinding your teeth at night? I don't clench my jaw in the day, but it hurts....so am I grinding at night? Like...my teeth are tender and my jaw aches. Maybe I"m just being overreactive, but it hurts! Ugh....

I don't grind my teeth, so I don't know. Perhaps your bottom or upper jaw is growing, which can cause a little bit of an overbite or underbite, and that's what's causing it. As for your teeth hurting, that sounds like it could be almost anything. Maybe your teeth are sensitive to cold or you have cavities in certain areas. Do you have braces? When I had braces I'd wake up with swollen cheeks, gums, or aching teeth.

No. I used to have braces though. They hurt like the ens though. The dentist was all like 'they'll stop hurting by tomarrow' but I remember my teeth aching for days prior. I think I have overbite or an underbite because I cant line my front teeth up. Maybe that's it....

I have a little bit of an underbite myself, but I don't have any problems with grinding. It's just a habit some people have; you should ask your dentist, though.

Well my mom said your teeth get sensitive to heat, cold, everything. That hasn't happened yet.

Ice cream is the worst on the two top front teeth.

Simple--teeth are sensitive to cold (usually, although in your case it sounds like you lucked out) and ice cream is freezing cold. Unless it's melted and been sitting in a car in the sun for three hours.

I always burn my tongue because I'm impatient and always just shove whatever food it is that needs to be cooled into my mouth, lawl.
