A friend of mine is a doctor of psychology. Every time I mention my mum, she asks me at what stage in her life has she regressed to. Questions like, has she regressed to a time early than the existence of her brothers or sisters – ie. Does she know who they are? My mum is now at a stage where she has no recollection not just of her children and husband, not just her brothers and sisters, but of whom her parents were.
I have this one thought about her teeth grinding. Could it be that she has regressed to a time in her life, when she was teething? Could this be that habit locked away in her memories, which is now manifesting itself again as she regresses?
This may make it impossible to stop – How on earth do you remove a reaction to something so deep in someone’s past?

For the most part, she doesn't even know what's happening half the time. A few years ago she used to attend a day care facility 5 days a week while I was at work. There she would often fight with other participants (patients) who were staring at her too long or looking at her the wrong way or for whatever reason, most of the time because of them damn U.T.I's, Anyway, Our lovely primary physician prescribed a low .25 dose of Alprazolam (Xanax) to see if that would alleviate the problem and it did. Yay!! She got to stay! Tonight is the first time since the day care that I have had the need to drug her up but, for her own peace, safety and comfort (and mine) I gave her a pill tonight with some pudding and guess what? I can hear her snoring like a baby on my cam as I write this post. Again, this is the first time in a while that I've drugged her but I think I have found the answer.....Wow!! Now I can take my pill and go to sleep! Good luck to everybody and I suggest this to each and every one of you. Xanax is a Miracle drug.....Lol- Goodnight!
You're here to get information suggestions and guidance from people who have been there, done that. Please don't get turned off by negative responses.
Keep asking questions with the realization that you know you're not going to be solving every little problem. You can still be coming formed.
as well as ERRODE her roots
doesn't contribute to INCREASING memory problems
I had a very good friend who was a grinder and went through numerous appointment with her even to UCLA dental school. ALL of her dentist indicated that she needed to do something about it because it would damage her enamel as well as the road her roots. I am surprised to hear her dentist say that that's no problem, maybe its relative because of her age and the length of time it might take to do the damage, where my friend was only 45 at the time. I dunno?? This was many years ago and they didn't have generic self-fitting mouthguards, but my friends problem was solved buy an expensive custom made unit. She wore it begrudgingly but vocally considered it a necessary evil (the reason I believe a dementia patient would not tolerate it).
A lot of the causes of teeth clenching is worry, tension or anxiety. To try something with no side effects that might be helpful, look into Hylands homeopathic "Calms" - they have a regular and night time (Forte) version. The Forte doesn't put you to sleep or anything, it's just more relaxing than the regular if a person need that. Verify with your doctor about using the product but most doctors today have heard of homeopathy and don't mind authorizing the use of it because they know it's non-toxic and they don't think it's going to work anyway.
A prescription medication that could help, also helps with the anxiety of dementia or Alzheimer's, is Buspar. It's and effective drug and its not anticholinergic, so it doesn't contribute to free term memory problems. Ask the Dr.
