teeth grinding/swollen teeth? cure?

[the truth]

ive been grinding my teeth it seems without realising and chewing gum too much
its caused swelling inside the side of my mouth by the back of my teeth on both sides
this has caused a knock on effect with my sinuses
ive got a mouth guard now to stop it happening when i sleep and no more chewing gum
does anyone have any experience of this or any other advice ?
cheers

..I don't know if either of these sites will be helpful, truth..I think there is some advise on muscle relaxation techniques you can do to help...
