About 8 hours ago I started grinding my teeth a lot, and just pressing my teeth together. And I still am. I tried chewing on ice but my jaws just ended up destroying it. I sadly don't have any carrots to eat. It is driving me crazy!
Does anyone have any suggestions, or any idea why I'm doing this?

I just chomped down an entire stalk of celery. Kinda helped.

Teeth grinding can often be linked to an increase in stress. Maybe try relaxing a bit? Read a book, play some music, or do whatever it is which might help relieve you a bit. That could possibly help. I wouldn't grind your teeth on anything too hard like metal or hard candies, as that could cause lasting damage to your enamel and gums.

When i'm stressed more than usual i tend to bite my gums in my sleep and draw blood, pretty mych every time i fall asleep. Aside from that, i like to tap my teeth (consciously) lol. My dentists know it too.
I guess thats not advice at all but oh well XD

I have braces and if my teeth grinding gets to bad (along with poor bracket placement) I'll sometimes knock off a bracket. Then I lose them.

And that is why it is best to find a preventative solution to make sure there won't be long-term damage.

Well so far music is actually helping a lot. So thank you for that.
