The cause of bruxism is not completely agreed upon, may due to stress(widely agreed factor), unhealth diet, certain drugs or alcohole use etc.
Bruxism or teeth grinding does not usually cause any harm, but in some cases which may cause problems with teeth, jaw pain, earache and headaches.
There's no definite cure for bruxism. Here are some points for stop further damage:
Wear mouth guard: custom-fitted mouth guard or over-the counter one, both helps. Customized one is often made by your dentist, which cost high like several hundred dollars but fit your teeth easily. and the mouth guard buy from market would be much cheaper.
Reduce stress: stress is almost around everyone everyday, so just try your best, at least leave everything behind the sleep.
Eat well: avoid coffee and alchole, Healthy Diet is very helpful.
Sleep well：In my experience, a comfortable pillow is essential.
