How do I stop my son from grinding his teeth?

OMGs my son went through a phase just recently where he grinded his teeth VERY badly! i was very concerned about it, but it seems he has stoped! he may just be grinding his teeth to ease some of the pressure of teething.. im not sure what u can do about it.. try talking to your pediatrician. and hopefully its just a phase and he will stop on his own!

Well my 6 year old daughter do the same thing but she does it in her sleep not when she is awake. It has to be the wrost sound that I ever heard in my life and there is nothing I can do to stop her!

The best thing to do is to consult your family dentist and if you don't have one, then consult your family doctor and he will refer you to a good dentist. The dentist will suggest your son to put a "routainer"(i'm not sure if that is spelled right), but this is some kind of device that your son will have to put on his teeth to prevent teeth grinding.

hi there, my baby started teething younger than yours and she was grinding her teeth alot, this isn't a problem for babies and no it doesn't hurt them, with regards to the noise i just had to grin and bear it or move her away from me when she was doing it, lol! :)

I imagine him looking cute and adorable! Grinding baby, LoL. I think its normal for teething babies to do like that. But its irritating, I know. You may provide your baby a teether or teething ring for him to bite instead.

i think this is not an abnormal thing.you do not have to worry about your son's habit.he is just 11 months old..so why are you making fuss about it???if it continues till he is 5years old or so then definitely you have to consult a doctor about it.

Sorry hon! My eldest used to grind his teeth as a baby and he is now 11 and still does at night! He'll either grow out of it or not! Not much you can do about it I'm afraid!

All my babies used to grind their teeth also . I never really worried about it too much , just didn't like the sound of it when they were doing it . If he continues to do this when he is older you can check with his dentist . But as small as he is right now I wouldn't worry about it . I think all babies do this when they are teething .

i did not how old your son is, but at time i grind my teeth at night and i dont even know till someone mention it to me, i dont do it often, but people i know told me to get a mouth guard and it should help alot. and i havent done it yet, but i havent grind my teeth much lately neither. so try that. or maybe it will go away by itself.

LOL yes it is normal but it is verying anoyin lol i can tellyou that much it is
