bruxism
Prolonged, unintentional grinding and clenching of the teeth, usually occurring during sleep. 'Bruxers' are often unaware that they have developed this habit. Symptoms include abraded/chipped teeth (in extreme cases, waking up with tooth chips in the mouth); facial pain; oversensitive teeth; tense facial and jaw muscles; headaches; dislocation of the jaw; damage to the tooth enamel, exposing the inside of the tooth; a popping or clicking in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ); tongue indentations; damage to the inside of the cheek.
Like most other anxiety symptoms, bruxism, is caused by a nutrient deficiency in the case of bruxism the culprits are magnesium as well as vitamin B5 and calcium...
You will be able to locate a supplement that contains all three of these and most likely the entire B complex... however I personally recommend magnesium CITRATE as opposed to magnesium oxide because mag oxide is garbage and won't be absorbed... also calcium carbonate is garbage,,,, its basically chalk so look for calcium citrate.
From previous research a therapeutic dose of mag citrate would be 1500 milligrams that would get your mag levels back up and guarantee about 750 milligrams of absorption as long as you are using the citrate rather than oxide.
As far as the calcium goes you could try drinking more milk or try cabbage/bok choy or soybean curd as well as tofu... if you don't want to make the diet change get calcium citrate remember since you are deficient you need to take 3 or 4 times the daily recommended to get your stores back up... the daily recommended amount is only a maintenance dosage and won't be of much help.
so 1500 mg of mag citrate per day
take 3 or 4 times the recommended dosage of calcium or make the diet change
and take a high dosage of the B complex i recommend B-50's from Now foods because they also contain vitamin C
