Candice Bergen Carries Stress in Her Jaw, Neck

In response to: We learned that night-guard sales are on the rise, as teeth grinding is becoming more common. Where do you carry your stress?

Well, kids, I have been wearing a night guard for 35 years. If I didn’t, I’d have to gum my food. So I carry my stress in my jaw as well as in my neck.

I didn’t realize teeth grinding was usually stress. My husband used to do that when we were first married. Things were good back then. He no longer does that and now in this bad economy we both have alot more stress. He used to snore all the time too and no longer does that that much either. Go figure!!!

My son must have had a very stressful childhood. His tooth grinding could be heard all over the house. Maybe I was just a very bad mum.

i’m not sure when my night grinding started, but i know that i woke my mother up the first time when i was 8, in 3rd grade. i don’t grind every night, but i can always feel it in my temples when i do.

my massage therapist also tells me that i hold stress in my neck, even when my shoulders are what’s hurting. lol, she also told me i’m the only one she knows who does that. now, i can tell her that Candice Bergen does, too! :)
