8Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine
Drinking caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea, or energy beverages would increase the risk of teeth grinding. Caffeine is a stimulant that would cause your body to work harder and prevent jaw muscles from relaxing. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid them, especially after dinner and before bedtime. Instead, you should go for hot lemon water or herbal tea for better health benefits. Similarly, avoid drinking alcohol and smoking as these bad habits would result in poor sleep and teeth grinding in the long run. [8]
