Thanatosian posted:I grind my teeth at night and have a hypersensitive gag reflex, and at one point got a mouth guard. I tried it for a few days and woke up gagging so much I gave up on it. Dentist told me I was gonna have destroyed teeth in my 40s/50s (I was in my 20s at the time), and I told him "if you told me I was gonna die next week if I didn't wear this, my response would be 'I had a good run.'" After years of ignoring my mouthguard my tooth sensitivity went through the roof. My dentist finally scared me into sticking with it. It sucked for 2 weeks but the gag reflex slowly got itself under control, and the mouthguard provided a cue to unconscious me to stop clenching & grinding. That led to better quality sleep, which improved the acid reflux as a bonus, and a reduction in stress. I now wear my mouth guard religiously. Please give it another shot and tough it out for the first few weeks. Trust me, it's worth it
