      Teeth Grinding is referred to as Bruxism in medical terms and around 20% of the adults grind their teeth at night. It is often a result of stress and anxiety or through a habit developed in childhood. If stress is the cause you can cure it by stress relieving products, starting an exercise program, seeing a physical therapist. You have to avoid food that contains caffeine, alcohol etc. Avoid chewing gums. You can also take some steps yourself like developing self control for not clenching or grinding the teeth, relaxing the jaw muscles by holding a warm washcloth against your cheek.
