Nocturnal bruxism: is the medical term for clenching or grinding teeth during sleep. See your dentist for evaluation and night guard fabrication to protect your teeth and your tongue.

See Dentist: Have your tooth problem fixed. Have your bite evaluated. Reshaping teeth or fabrication of a tongue guard appliance may help. See Dentist.
