Grinding Teeth?

My son who is 14 months keeps grinding his teeth together very loudly,he has 4 at the bottom and one at the top. What can I do to stop him apart from the obvious,telling him no stop it. Its horrible to hear it and it cant be doing his teeth any good.

Grinding Teeth?
my son is 16months old and has all of his teeth except the back 4 and he does this sometimes too, it really annoys my partner and he keeps telling him to stop it as he cant stand the sound,


it dont bother me though as i also grind my teeth when im asleep and i have done since i was 2yrs old (im now nearly 29) and it has not done any harm to my teeth, it just sounds really bad.


im sure he will grow out of it soon, my son used to do it often and now its only every now and then, he goes days without doing it at all now.
Reply:Talk to a dentist. There are mouth guards available that he can wear to bed. It%26#039;s going to wreak havoc on his jaws and teeth if something isn%26#039;t done about it.





I know that when I grind my teeth I am usually stressed about something.
Reply:ya, talk to a dentist. they usually have something to protect the teeth with. my friend does it in her sleep, and she has something to protect her teeth.
Reply:I think all children do it for a while as it%26#039;s a novelty. My daughter did and it made my skin crawl to hear it, but I ignored it and she stopped when she got used to having teeth!
Reply:once he gets rest of teeth it should stop,my little boy did for a while
