For remedies:

Answer 2

It's actually bruxism, and it means teeth grinding.  You probably grind your teeth while sleeping which causes the pain when you wake.

Answer 3

You dentist was a terrible speller.

If the problem is serious, I'm surprised he or she didn't give you further advice about wearing shields over your teeth at night, which help to mitigate against the problems of bruxism.

Perhaps he isn't a very good dentist either.
