Daughter keeps grinding teeth.?

My daughter is 18 months old and her molars are coming in.


Now she won%26#039;t stop grinding her teeth...it sounds terrible.


Any ideas on how to get her to stop.

Daughter keeps grinding teeth.?
I don%26#039;t know what do you at such a young age for bruxism. I have a mouth guard, but I%26#039;m an adult.


Do something quick before she cuts her teeth.


The future of her smile depends on it.
Reply:try giving her a peice of frozen waffles to put in her mouth and in between her teeth so she can bite on that. (Make sure they are to frozen solid. SO they are a little bit soft)
Reply:First of all, she%26#039;s definitely not doing it on purpose. If she%26#039;s doing it in her sleep (which is common), the best fix would be to use a mouth guard, which will keep her jaws just far enough apart to prevent the teeth grinding. If it%26#039;s while she%26#039;s awake, it%26#039;s probably just because of the pain of her teeth coming in, so try treating the pain. (You said that they%26#039;re almost all the way in, but the gums can sometimes stay tender for a little while after the teeth have come in.) Tooth grinding, or bruxism, is fairly common in children and will likely go away on its own.

Reply:go to your dentist and tell him. because they do have baby bite gards for babys
Reply:I really havent heard abour guards 4 kids, but i couldnt be good because kids grow really fast and u could be changing guards every week or so....


besides its not recomended to use any object in her mout that could be removed by her (cuz of swallowing or choke)


aaaand GOD! she is 18 months old a guard its a joke! cuz they need to take an impresion and its non indicated for kids yunger than 6 years (when the 1st permanent molars come out)








its normal for her to grind and chew on things because she is getting itching %26amp; pain cuz the gums are streched





there are some orthopedic gadgets u can get on baby stores and dental stores to. (try..kids%26#039;r us 4 ex.) they have this plastic orthopedia that the child can bite (usually they have watter or gel inside so its soft, and some kind of print on the out plastic so she stops pain and itching by her own)





anyway if it is bruxism


bruxism is due to stress, there is something stressing or frightning ur daughter. Go to pediatric help first and ask if u could give her some kinda ani stress medication. that is if she grinds asleep or if it is awake if she does it for calling attention.





best of best 4 you ;)
