This is DDs mouth. Her top tooth has chipped a decent amount and the bottom tooth right under it has a tiny bit too. Why is this happening? Is it possible she is grinding her teeth?

Baby teeth aren't the strongest so she could have hit it on something or even chipped it by biting something the wrong way. And 95% of kids grind their teeth and only 5% of adults do so if that's what happened it is normal. Luckily she will be just fine and you don't need to do anything for it. You can go to the dentist and have them place filling material on them but they won't stay very well due to not having good retention in that area. It might be a good idea to go to the dentist and have them check it out and take an X-ray in case she did have any trauma.

The thing is, this is the 2nd time it's chipped. It wasn't that bad before I just noticed how much bigger it's gotten.

If she was grinding them, they'd be smoother. My little sister used to grind hers and it was a smooth area.
I think you need to take her to the dentist, how old is she? Has she been before?

Has she been biting something hard?

Yes she has been to the dentist quite a few times. She is 5 years old

My son has been grinding his teeth and they look similar.

does she get enough calcium? Calcium build strong teeth and if she's not getting enough it makes the teeth easier to break.

She could've knocked them. My almost 2 year old son has 2 chipped front teeth he was running around in the living room with my 4 year old daughter, he fell and she landed on top of him whacking his face into the hard floor. It took me a few hours to even realise that he'd chipped them as he wasn't making a fuss after the initial 2 minutes crying.
