Supplements for Teeth Grinding – Can Vitamins and Minerals Help Bruxism?

  • September 15, 2026 10:34 PM PDT

    Has anyone here tried supplements for teeth grinding or jaw clenching?

    I recently came across an article from Beach Cities Dental Group discussing whether vitamins and minerals may help with bruxism. It covers supplements such as magnesium, calcium, vitamin B complex, vitamin D, melatonin, and omega-3s, while also emphasizing that supplements alone aren't considered a cure for teeth grinding.

    I thought this was interesting because teeth grinding can sometimes be connected with stress, poor sleep, muscle tension, or other factors. I'm particularly curious about magnesium and whether anyone has noticed a difference in nighttime grinding, jaw tension, or morning headaches after addressing their nutrition or sleep habits.

    For anyone interested, here's the article: https://beachcitiesdentalgroup.com/2026/06/25/supplements-for-teeth-grinding-can-vitamins-and-minerals-help-bruxism/

    What has been your experience?

    • Have you tried magnesium or another supplement for bruxism?

    • Did it make any noticeable difference?

    • What other strategies have helped with teeth grinding, such as a night guard, stress reduction, or improving sleep?

    Would be great to hear what has worked—or hasn't worked—for others.
