He's in dorset street even though from what you've just explained it seems like your case is quiet rare. Ask to speak to him and explain everything in detail. Perhaps Dermot Canavan may be your solution. Worth the phone call as well even just for the advice. Best of luck. Will be thinking of you. K8,

I guess there's a reason they use it as a laxative too, huh?

It's worth a shot, if even in tiny doses. I've tried a real guard, but they involve a person biting down to create a proper fitting and try as I might, it just won't happen with the kid! Also it tends to separate his teeth so much that he loses the ability to swallow properly so that his lungs start to fill up with drool... It's a pickle of a doozy of a skituation.

I hadn't thought of facial muscles seizing up! There could be headaches as well caused by the tension, but the kid can't describe it to me so it's mainly guesswork. Bonjela's yer only man, and Opera for some reason! Beats 50cent and Beyonce I suppose. :) *googling Dr Crotty...* This is good insight… I hadn’t thought of facial muscles seizing up!

The most genuine and caring man I have ever come accross and who was quite aware of the expense involved. He also lectures in the dental hospital and would send you in the right direction. And another thing. Besides the wearing away of teeth, the grinding can also damage the jaw ligments which happened in my case from years of grinding. Literally one morning I woke up and couldn't open my mouth (like lockjaw). Didn't stop me from talking though ! I know laughing boy's case may be slightly different but I would hate to see this happen to him. So the best of luck and let me know if you need any more info.

You've no idea what this comment means to me - finally finding reputable names to help with this fiasco was something I'd just about given up on. The dentist never mentioned the oral maxillo facial clinic (grrr), but we've been looking to find a new practitioner anyway. Thanks for such great advice and a new place to start from :) Hi leapingtiger!

There are a few people in Ireland experienced in this field.I can recommend Dr. Dermot Canavan. He is based at the Northbrook clinic, Ranelagh and was trained in the US. Of course he's private but I have my split 8 years and hey peace for everyone. Another option you could take is to be referred to the Dental hospital where they have a special oral maxillo facial clinic which I did avail of years ago. Of course they have a waiting list but take cases on a priority basis and which yours would certainly be. It's worth a shot. Your local dentist refers you. Email me if you would like any more information. Best of luck btw love the blog and have for a long time. Hi K8,

What a great invention. Fat Sparrow; I wish I could grow his new teeth in a jar for him! That'd be so handy. Granny; I think it helps to be slightly mad in the first place... it makes psychosis seem like a walk in the park :) Kirk M; Thank you :) Hugs administered! It's his school teachers I feel sorry for... they're not authorised to use home-made grinding solutions so there'll be a few wrecked heads in there when he starts back! Baino; I've asked a ton of doctors/nurses/dentists... but they can't think of any type of mouthguard that won't induce choking, most models reach too far back so that he can't swallow properly. I just generally leave them with thoroughly scratched heads and a 'thanks anyway'. It's a rare case, I guess. Once these back teeth appear, the problem will go away, so that's only another five years to go - screeech! Martin; I was thinking ‘genius’, but that’ll do ;) Heehee
