What to do about a bad case of teeth-grinding?

Night guard: I would see a dentist. A good conservative place to start is with a night guard.

Nightguard: Most people, in spite of what is commonly thought, do grind their teeth at night during sleep. The best treatment is to see your dentist to have a nightguard custom fabricated to fit over your teeth to protect your teeth and jaws from the grinding.
