Tooth grinding during sleep aka bruxism happens to be one of the most discomforting problems because it not only causes trouble while you are sleeping, but it also can lead to dental disorders that are hard to treat.  To cure teeth grinding, you need to relax your jaw muscles. You can do that by warming a washcloth and placing it in between the jaws.
