I don't know why exactly, I love this painting. I think its the focal distance you put in this painting. Nicely done.

If it makes me stop and stare, its done its job. High five.

OK, that was a weird trip down memory lane. Mom was a nurse, she treated us regularly with an orange tasting powder for pinworms. I don't know if she actually had evidence or it was prophylactic in nature. I'm pretty happy I was ignorant of the existence of pinworms as a child.

I still can't help you out with the original question. I've never had a problem with bruxism personally.

I'm genuinely curious where this idea originates. I've never heard of a cause/effect link from intestinal parasites to grinding your teeth.
