...er, don't grind your teeth! it's a horrible noise! LOL, just kidding. Seriously, it could mean "don't get frustrated or nervous."

Yeah, I don't think it is a "saying." Never heard it used that way. My brother used to have a problem with grinding his teeth, especially in his sleep. Its where you scrape your bottom teeth w/your top teeth and it makes an awful sound. It can actually grind the teeth and wear them down.

Maybe you mean "dont grit your teeth", it is something you do when you are angry or frustrated, and is sometimes seen as an aggressive expression.
Grinding your teeth is when you slide your upper teeth and lower teeth together with force. This can wear down the enamel leaving the teeth vulnerable to cavities and breakage.
So don't grind your teeth and dont grit your teeth

It means don't close your teeth together and grind the top teeth against the bottom teeth.

Well, its not an actual phrase. It basically means to not rub your top and bottom teeth together. By doing that you could hurt your teeth.
