teeth grinding
Posted: 02-24-08 10:11am

val got her 4 upper teeth recently and shes had her 2 lower teeth for a while now. within the last week or so ive noticed she is grinding her teeth a LOT. i worry about it because i grind my teeth and it made them very fragile and about 1/3 the size they should be. i dont want her to have the same problems i do. does anyone know ANYTHING i can try to get her to stop or is it just a normal phase?

I think it's pretty normal. I recall other girls mentioning this same concern, and I know Adriana went through that. I don't remember how long it lasted, but she hasn't done that in a long time.

Ya I think its normal also. They have all these teeth all of a sudden and just want to experiment with what they do! Brayden did it for a little while when he first got some on both top and bottom but now I hardly ever see him do it. Just wait it out a little bit.

finn did it when he first got his top teeth. i have serious issues with teeth so it made me want to cut my ears off when i heard him doing it. it only lasted a few days though.

Ava experiemented with it when she got her top and bottom. It only lasted a little while though. She'll get over it soon hopefully.

Kaylee did it too for a while & I HATE that sound! It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. I can't remember how long it lasted but I don't think it was more than a couple weeks!
