| If you've had this problem, and your dentist did something to fix it to your satisfaction, please share what he/she did. Thanks. |

| Fix the grinding or the damage? I've already worn my molars down quite a bit, so I finally had my dentist fit a custom biteguard. Cost $500+ but it seems to cut down on the grinding. |

| Sorry, should have been more clear -- fix the damage. (I got a mouthguard for nighttime, but it was too late -- too much damage had already been done.) The enamel is just about totally gone from the surfaces, and eating anything sweet, hot, or cold is painful. |
