Grinding or bruxism is an involuntary habit which can cause severe damage to the teeth and the jaw joint.So get a night guard or soft splint made by a dentist that will help you by preventing grinding of teeth.In night grinding habit,,medicines will not help.

Grinding is usually related to stress. Work towards controlling your stress by meditation, yoga etc. Get a nightguard made from your dentist to prevent damage to your teeth due to grinding
