18 month old grinding teeth??

My son is grinding his teeth and he has been ever since he got them. The 2 front top ones are changing to a grayish colour on the gumline. He drinks nothing but water and milk and his teeth are brushed everyday. Is the colour change caused by him grinding his teeth if so how do I stop him from doing it? Please help?!

I owuld get him to a dentist immediately...he could possibly be in pain. They have things you can put on the teeth to stop the child from grinding them, and it ill train him not to so his peranent teeth wont be destroyed as well
Reply:The grinding is normal...to a point. My daughter did it.


His teeth are something new. He is going to see what they do, and this is a new sensation.


However if he is grinding them too hard or on a constant basis it seems possible that this is where the gray color is coming from. Only his doctor can say for certain.
