The dentist can make him a mouth guard to wear at night or you can buy one at the drug store.  I would ask your pharmacist about them, I believe you put it in hot water and have him bite down with it in his mouth to make it fit his mouth. It won't be as good a fit as if the dentist had made it but hopefully it will do the job.Tooth grinding is common and he may outgrow it. Hope this helps.

There is no home remedy to cure bruxism and clenching.seeing a tmj specialist is advised.
