Hello
The indentation you have mentioned may be secondary to the trauma , there may be a depressed fracture which needs to be evaluated by a CT scan.
Considering the teeth grinding it is a sleep disorder unlikely to be associated with this injury, May be a sleep disorder/habitual disorder.
You need to consulta Neurosurgeon for taking CT Brain and the you may consult a Neurologist for his teeth grinding.
