Night Grinding (TEETH)

By Erin McGee Ferrell

Written 2019-10-17

My dental hygienist declares that I grind my teeth enamel - erosion and all that.

This news is strange to me.

Deep sleep and prolific dreamer - how would I know?

As my mind sorts and organises the day's information, my jaw responds as well, clenching as it processes my teenagers actions or a bill unpaid.

Molars clamping and shifting, thinking about tomorrow's to-do list; brain and jaw in sync.
