anyone grind their teeth?

I've done it for so long I know have extra growth of bone on upper and lower buccal mucosa.  It looks unsightly, and I'm going to try to find an oral surgeon who can remove this.  I'm also constantly burning it with food because it naturally drops there.  I'm seeing a dentist to finally get fitted with a mouth piece, but I have my doubts about stopping the grinding!  I take muscle relaxers, and Xanax, massage my jaws with warm clothes, and also sleep on a heating pad (burned myself a few weeks ago and woke up with welts and blisters) I just dont see an end to this.  Anyone at all have success in stopping grinding??

Looks Like UTMT has an ax to grind... Bias!
Career Step grads, as well as grads from other well-known schools, can perform quality work! They have proven it!

Visit aamt.org for recommended schools. As far as placement, Career Step has many industry partners who recommend their course, including the nation's top companies--like, Medquist, Spheris, Focus Infomatics, etc.

So, UTMT, I can only assume your "name calling" or mischaracterization of before you "name call" or mischaracterization of Career Step graduates as "willing to work for less" is a result of misinformation or frustration you have about how Career Step's success may affect your own "bottom line."

The industry has definitely jumped on-board with Career Step, which has the other schools scrambling. You can visit Career Step's page about industry partners to learn more: www.careerstep.com/site/type=mt/page=companiesrecommend-mt (Click on the links, and see for yourself which school leading MTSO's refer you to for training. If even one of them recommends Andrews or mtec, I'd be surprised.
Yes. Especially high-end merchandise. Someone has an ax to grind with Walmart
The media is so corrupt trying to paint pictures with one side to the story omitting the fact that everything else is made outside the US, not just Walmart merchandise. Then you have posters like the above get all mad and huffy about Walmart. Fact is if you educate yourself and read labels, watch the marketing of any retailer, Walmart is not unique as Frontline would have you believe.

wisdom teeth
I am a former dental assistant. I worked for a dentist for seven years, and we made sure that people knew that nerve damage could occur. I have seen a couple of these cases, and they all regained the feeling eventually. As far as time frame, unfortunately everyone is different.
Sorry, I can't get past the teeth..... : > lol

Elliott's teeth. sm
I noticed that during the initial audition.  They are getting better, he has been having dental work done for at least the last two shows.  He has such a nice voice, I am sure before the grand finale his teeth will look real nice.
A word about teeth--sm
keep your natural teeth for as long as you possibly can. swallow your fears about dentists and take care of what you have. Those pretty white straight dentures are torture chambers in disquise, and you will never again enjoy corn on the cob or dill pickels because when you try to bite them with dentures, they come loose. Your gums shrink over time and they never quite fit right, even the expensive jobs! It is just not worth it! Your own teeth can never be replaced by plastic and yours can be pretty and white too. These are just my experiences and thoughts. ks
Wisdom teeth (sm)
I'm not sure about ulcers becoming cancerous, although I would think so. But wisdom teeth can become a chronic problem with infection, bite problems, etc. Go to an oral surgeon.He can put you under and you won't even know it's happening. The next thing you know you'll be in the recovery area and it will be all over.
brush my teeth
I stop the coffee 4 hours into my shift, it didn't help. Now, I fix a mug of ice water, have snacks similar to what has been suggested. I like salty snacks. I wash my face and brush my teeth, and it usually gets me through my shift.
wisdom teeth question
My 20 year old daughter had her wisdom teeth out on Friday.   She went to have the stitches out and told the dentist that she has no feeling in part of her lip.  The dentist says it is rare but it may never come back.  He said that you can go to Boston or New York  to reconnect the nerve which is a lengthy process and has to be done in 2 months.  She is in college (a little hard to do).  I keep telling her to give it more time, it has only been 5 days maybe it will get better.  She is hysterical over this.  Has anyone else run into this with wisdom teeth.
Teeth can be changed. That voice is simply the best!

#5 by the skin of my teeth and with more hours than it took 5 years ago.


I agree. Now it seems the "in" thing is teeth cleaning sm
I'm fortunate in that I live in a small town and my vet is very good and very reasonable. Doesn't try to persuade you to have anything extra done but will do things if you want them done.
They must be so frustrated. Gnashing their evil-doing teeth. Trying new bait, tossing out the line.
But we're not gonna BITE! Have I mentioned to you that rabbits bite? Some do, though I don't think they particularly mean it...
Never eat it. Hate food on my face and stuck in my teeth, esp. in public! Gross either way. nm

I get tired of daily grind. I get tired of having

horrible dictation/dictators and not able to produce lines, which directly affects my paycheck.  I don't mind doing the difficult stuff, and I pretty good at it, but it is stressful and I find it very hard to budget when you never know what your paycheck is going to be.   I hate being tied to having earphones on all day.   I have children at home (I homeschool and don't have toddlers running around) and my DH works third shift so he is home during the day.  I try to work around all this, but can't always.  If I had a "desk" job I could be part of conversations at least, but having to have the earphones on you can't do that.   I get tired of being sedentary, my feet swell, my shoulders are tired, my elbows hurt, etc.  


I stick with it because of my children, and also because I like the flexibility.  I don't have to be up at 5:30 to get the kids up and ready for school, I don't have to fight traffic to get to work at 8:00.  It is a trade-off.   Sounds like you just need a break.
