Long time lurker, this is my first post!
A few months ago I found out I was grinding my teeth during the night... I attributed it to the stress of the moment. Which then went away, but I kept grinding.
I don't want to destroy my teeth so I went to a dentist, got a mouth guard and started using it. It is made of "policarbonato", which I then discovered is made from bisphenol-A (BPA).
My friend has a similar one that is all worn off. He basically ended up swallowing the estrogenic compound but I don't know if those amounts are actually dangerous. What do you think?
Is it a good tradeoff to use that stuff regardless of BPA? (I can't get non-BPA guards in this country. )
I read it could have to do with high serotonin, but there I wouldn't know what to do besides diet.
Any other alternatives for bruxism? is there such a thing as a non-toxic non-plastic mouthguard?
