So I realize I may not get an answer as google wasn't much help either since a lot of kids dont have…

he's just getting used to them they are new to him

contact a pediatric dentist if you're concerned

id talk to his pedi dentist about the grinding, that cant be good for the teeth:/

I am a dental assistant for a pediatric dentist and the only thing that they can recommend is stoppin them when you see it happening or just turn away from them. Usually kids stop when they start to get their adult teeth in, but at that point they are still grinding, you can talk to their dentist about getting them a nighttime mouth guard 😊

@mrsmoore, @sparklymama @hermommy thanks ladies! @kdollarhide I try to stop him when I hear it because I dont want it to be a habit. My oldest did it but not this young and the pediatric dentist said they couldn't give him a mouth guard because his baby teeth would eventually come out anyway. My baby is only 6 months so I doubt they could do a mouth guard for 3 teeth so I am not sure what they can do

my sons did this I would take my pointer finger and very gently tap his mouth or distract him with a teething toy he's 9 month got teeth at 7 months stopped grinding like two weeks after a pedi can't really give you ways to stop him he's just getting used to them he will get bored and stop when he realizes they aren't going anywhere

@mrsmoore, thank you so much!

My son is 6 and grinds his teeth in his sleep, I asked his dentist about it and he said at this age there's nothing that they can do, probably the same for your little one

I meant 7 lol

my one year old did it too, for a week and than he stopped on his own. it drove me nuts!

@bianca_rose, im oldest was about that age when he did it in his sleep as well! I think its just more irritating then anything I think

@nichole_lynn, thats just it! it drives me nuts! Hopefully its just a phase!

I just hated the noise. like nails on a chalk board 😢

@nichole_lynn, yes! exactly!

your welcome I hate the noise as well

Oh yeah, it drives me crazy lol
