I too prefer not to deal with more than one stressful issue at a time. Although, I deal with many simultaneously at work all of the time!! oye.... No wonder I come home and crash .............~~
I think you would be ok with your dentist making you a nightguard. The idea is to reduce the affects from your bruxing habit. So I would start there.
Have a nice weekend.... it's a beautiful sunny day here, hope it is by you too!

I am not sure and just wondering your opinion.
No, stress is not good. I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my forehead in Sept this year and then this wisdom tooth (bad timing) and everything was just spiraling out of control (emotionally) so I think that is why I get myself so worried about this extraction and infection and healing and and and........
Too many "what ifs?"
Thanks~
