Likely clenching : Clenching is the likely reason. Im assuming you dont have any obvious dental issues you can try an otc mouth bite guard which should not be expensive.

Number of things..: Grinding and clenching is a possibility but it could be a number of other things, like a decay/cavity, or gum infection, etc.. You would want to visit with a dentist and have an x-ray and evaluations done.
