Start General: Bruxism or clenching can be horrible. Many times the reason is fairly simple and can be corrected with an occlusal guard. Other times the cause is more exotic and requires the need of a specialist. See your general dentist and ask questions, you should get good answers and good guidance, move from there as needed!
