The bottom left of my teeth have felt crammed, bruised, pressure when I bite down and I only notice this at night before I go to sleep and when I wake up. It is not painful, just discomfort and I have no idea what it is or what it could be. It started about 5 months ago. Any suggestions? I have been to two different dentists, with x rays, and they say nothing is wrong...but there sure is something different going on.

Have you noticed yourself clinching or grinding your teeth? This is very common. Many people do it without even realizing it. This habit can inflame the ligaments surrounding your teeth causing an unpleasant feeling. If you think this is a possibility, you may try wearing an occlusal or bite guard.
