Very simple diagnosis any doctor will til you the
same thing. There is also a surgery they can do
for it. Like the others said though see a doctor
they'll give you treatment options, chances are
you'll end up having your dentist take care of it.
For temporary relief you can go to a sporting
good store and buy a mouthguard for when you sleep
but they are bulky you'll probably wake up with
drool on your face. Probably beest to make a doc
appointment, they'll tell you to talk to your
dentist. Enuf said, gotta go.
