Hi all, Apologies if posting in the wrong forum but I'm an extremely nervous dental patient, cue tears, the sweats, shaking/cant sleep/abject fear etc but I do try and attend my dentist once a year for check ups.

I suffer from sensitive teeth and lately started grinding due to increased stress. Went to my dentist who recommended a night split but theres simply no way I can wear the splint, it hurts my teeth and has increased sensitivity and I cant go through that on a nightly basis.

Anyone any advice on how to help lessen the grinding/clenching, i.e. hypnotherapy etc? Has anyone any suggestions as to dentists who specialise in nervous patients?
