:shock: help, my son is 16 months old and
he loves to grind his teeth together. He
bites down on them so hard he makes a
noise. This is not when he is sleeping.
How can I get him to stop doing this...I
dont want him to chip a tooth especially
when they are all just coming in. I
think that he is doing it because I have
told him not too. Is this common or is
my son the only one?

Alot of children grind there teeth. Just
dont say anything to him because then it
becomes funny. Eventually he will grow
out of it."hopefully"
if you are very concerned or if it is
reaaly bad talk to you peds. Doc. And
ask some suggestions. My son grew out of
it all by himself.. Good luck to you

This may or may not help but my brother
did the same thing when he was small. My
mother made an oral contraption and told
him he'd have to wear it if he didn't
stop. May not be cool anymore to do
this, but sometimes fear factor works!
