Dentist !: Your local dentist can examine you to determine the cause of the pain. May be just your grinding, may be a carious lesion. It is possible that a night guard will help you. Ask at your consultation visit.

Yes: Clenching and grinding your teeth together while you're awake or asleep can stress your jaw joint as well as your teeth. If there are particular teeth that interfere with each other as you grind your teeth together, these teeth can become especially sensitive or painful. See your dentist for an evaluation. You may be helped by a "brux splint".
