Hi Kelly,
Both stomach ulcers and kidney failure can lead
to teeth grinding. (Insulinoma can also lead to teeth
grinding.) Carafate and amoxi are good to use to try
to control stomach ulcers. Biaxin may be need also.
For the kidney failure, are you giving SQ fluids? This
may be need to decrease the BUN and stop the teeth
grinding if it is from the kidney failure. Rechecking the
BUN would help to clarify what is causing the teeth
grinding.
Hope that helps,
