Can you have your teeth filed down?

i love my teeth. theyre not perfect but theyre nice. however i have a bad habit of grinding two sets of teeth [the ones that look like fangs] togetther. and its starting to become a problem because im chipping the top two.





will the dentist file your teeth down? and about how much does it cost?

yes i had mine done 8 years ago and they looked brilliant. unfortunately they've gone a bit jagged again. not sure on cost but it won't send you bankrupt might just have to save your penny's for a while.
Reply:If you mainly grind at night, then you need to go to your local Wal-mart or pharmacy %26amp; check out mouthpieces. A lot of times, they'll be located in the sports section of Wal-Mart, not sure of the location in the pharmacy. You boil the mouth piece in hot water so it gets soft, then you insert it in your mouth %26amp; it makes a mold. Wear the mouthpiece at night %26amp; it will prevent damage to your teeth. It may take a couple of days to get used to.


If you grind your teeth during the day while you're awake, then you need to look at what you are doing when you start grinding. Grinding tends to be a consequence of stress. Try replacing the habit with something else- chewing some gum, sucking on candy, etc. You need to relax :)
Reply:yeh you can, i might have to have that done in about a year, when i get rid of my braces, shouldnt cost too much at all to be honest .
