Laurel, you might want to consider having a panoramic xray done at least for a baseline.
Also, if you are concerned, you might want to consider a consultation apt with a good oral surgeon.
Clenching may also be done while you are sleeping. A typical sign of clenching is to feel inside your cheek with your tongue. Do you feel a horizonal ridge? It is quite common to have this ridge with clenchers. The more prominent the ridge, the more significant the clenching. Check inside your cheek when you get up in the morning.
Hope this helps.
