Actual cause for night grinding (nocturnal bruxism) can not be diagnosed here. You have to visit an oral medicine specialist. Once it is diagnosed it can be reduced over time by counselling, medicines, jaw exercises, electrical nerve stimulations and various other methods. For the time being you can use night guard which prevents frictional loss of remaining tooth structures.
