I started having problems with my teeth right before surgery--was grinding in my sleep and had no idea. Not wearing my nightguard after the surgery left me with a pretty bad case of gingivitis and I had to go in for a dental cleaning four months post op. I learned quickly then to take better care of my teeth, and so now I brush, floss and rinse religiously. I brushed before, of course, but never flossed. My teeth still ache because I still grind at night, but not nearly as bad as my post-op days.
