18 months and grinding teeth.?

My son is 18 months and I am trying to take away his pacifier. (Bottle already gone) Except he grinds his teeth once I take the pacifer out. I have tried giving him teething rings to chew but he still does it from time to time anyone have any suggestions.

18 months and grinding teeth.?
My son had this problem too, and he still does - just not as serious as it used to be. I asked the dentist, and he said that there%26#039;s really nothing you can do to stop a young child from grinding his teeth - you can%26#039;t exactly use a night guard on a kid, because they wouldn%26#039;t keep it in for any length of time. He basically told me not to concern myself with it until he got his adult teeth or started causing damage. Luckily, we didn%26#039;t have to worry about the damage issue, and his problem seems to have gotten better as he%26#039;s gotten older (he%26#039;s 6 now).
Reply:The dentist would know what to do.
Reply:I think you should do it at stages so that you let him have when he wants, but try to make the intervals longer and longer. When he wants it you may show him something else, perhaps he will accept it and forget the pacifier
Reply:I still grind my teeth to this day from childhood. My preschooler has been doing so from pretty early on in infanthood/toddlerhood. She didn%26#039;t suck on a pacifier at all. [Now I know how irritating it is for others, though I don%26#039;t do it on purpose.] Good luck.
Reply:you need to go to the dentitist %26#039;causei%26#039;m 27 ans still grind my teeth!you need to make sure this dosen%26#039;t continue,cause a guard during sleep is cheap but braces aren%26#039;t!
