'''Teeth grinding''' (also known as '''bruxism''' or '''jaw clenching''') is a fairly common effect mostly associated with [[stimulant]]s and stimulating [[psychedelics]]. It can be described as a compulsive and often uncontrollable urge to grind one's teeth. In extreme cases, this can result in painful damage to one's tongue, teeth and inner cheek.

The most effective methods for quickly alleviating uncomfortable bruxism include using chewing gum or a baby's pacifier to occupy one's jaws without causing damage. [[Magnesium]] (preferably glycinate) is also very effective at alleviating bruxism when it is taken at a dosage of 200mg once 6 hours before and again at 1-3 hours before ingesting a stimulant such as [[MDMA]] or [[amphetamine]].<ref>Rollsafe - Safety and Supplements for MDMA/Ecstasy/X | http://www.rollsafe.org/</ref>

Teeth grinding is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[stimulation]] and [[wakefulness]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|common]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[stimulant]] compounds, such as [[methamphetamine]], [[MDMA]], [[methylphenidate]], and [[cocaine]]. However, it can also occur under the influence of certain [[stimulation|stimulating]] [[psychedelic|psychedelics]] such as [[2C-E]], [[DOC]], and [[AMT]].
