14 month old grinding her teeth!?

My 1 year old daughter will not stop grinding her teeth! She does it during the day. I have no idea why or how to stop it. She doesn%26#039;t do it out of anger she just walks around and occasionally i%26#039;ll hear it. I%26#039;m telling you, it%26#039;s nails on a chalkboard! She also never does this in her sleep. Any suggestions?

She could be having more teeth trying to come in. You could give her something to chew on to ease her gums. Maybe a teething ring that reaches to the back?
Reply:Ive heard of the same thing. Your dentist will supply a mouth gaurd for when she sleeps.
Reply:I would see a dentist because that may be damaging to her teeth
Reply:my son did the same thing, it did stop he is 10 now and doesnt do that any more.
Reply:My child ground his teeth at a later age. He did it because he was curious of the funny sound. We took his attention out of it with better toys. (I tried showing him that I could do it, too, but that didn%26#039;t help; teeth-grinding became play.) Chewing gums did give him caries.
Reply:you can get a mouth guard but my dentist told me there is a chance u cant sleep with it... sorry there is no cure. i still do it in my sleep
Reply:When kids have worms they usually grind their teeth. U should check 2 c if she has it. Check out the website kidshealth.org 4 more info.
Reply:It is completely normal. She has new teeth(maybe not new but she see them as new) and is learning new things about them. She has found out that they make noise when she does that. She should grow out of it. My little boy is 3 and he just grew out of it.





It does sound bad, I know. When you hear her do it just tell her to stop. It didn%26#039;t help my son but over time and hearing stop over and over again she will quit. If for some reason she doesn%26#039;t stop over the next couple years see a dentist.
Reply:my son also does this all the time, our pediatrician told us this is their way of applying pressure to reduce pain of teething, so if thats true then she%26#039;s probably getting some more teeth. good luck
Reply:My kid was the same way and my pediatrician told me that it could be stress which proved to be true. she would grind her teeth if her sinus felt blocked, if she felt bored from being cooped up in the house all day or just plain tired.





my solution was to check to see if she might be coming down with a cold, find activities to entertain her or give her a snuggle and put her to bed.





your situation may be different so i would suggest you observe her and see what she might be reacting to. good luck.





oh yes, i almost forgot, it could be intestinal worms also.
