My dentist wants to know why I'm grinding my teeth so much.

I'm having oral surgery tomorrow to extract some broken teeth (and a few
others that are basically nearby in the construction zone) as the first
step towards later getting dental implants to replace them. I don't
grind my teeth, I just have dentinogenesis imperfecta corresponding to
my osteogenesis imperfecta and some of my teeth have broken beyond the
ability of my dentist to repair by any less drastic means.

I find myself perversely almost looking forward to the oral surgery,
because while I will be having something painful done to me, at least
I'll get anesthesia and painkillers, which I don't get to help me deal
with the stupid cow-orkers.
