How do I stop a 2 year old from grinding his teeth?

My son is grinding his teeth at night. I can even see little chips forming on his front teeth.

How do I stop a 2 year old from grinding his teeth?
good luck, I tell mine no, and explain the reason why it%26#039;s bad and then, gently put my tumb and my other finger my his checks and opens his mouth up each time he does it.It so far has worked . He is probably to young for the bites, I would be afraid he would choke on it
Reply:give him a soft toy
Reply:My brother did that once, and when he went to the dentist, they gave him something to help him at night, but i don%26#039;t remember what it was. Try taking him to his dentist though, because i%26#039;m sure they can help you.
Reply:you can buy a mouth guard for little ones to wear at night to keep them from grinding their teeth. my son had the same problem a few years ago.

Reply:Talk to a dentist they might give you a night gard for his teeth. It will be made just for his mouth.
Reply:try teaching him this rhyme that I learned as a child %26quot; lips together teeth apart from this rule i wont depart%26quot; if that doesn%26#039;t seem to work try taking him to a dental proffessional. good luck with your son.
Reply:If you or your child has bruxism, your doctor may suggest a mouth guard or protective dental appliance (splint) to prevent damage to your teeth. Your dentist can make a custom mouth guard to fit your mouth. Over-the-counter mouth guards are available and they%26#039;re less expensive than custom guards, but they generally don%26#039;t fit well and can dislodge during bruxing. If your bruxism seems to stem from dental problems, your dentist may also correct misaligned teeth. In severe cases — when tooth wear has led to sensitivity or the inability to chew properly — your dentist may need to use overlays or crowns to entirely reshape the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

Reply:Take him to the dentist and have them pulled out....................
Reply:It may be possible that your 2 year old has worms. This always was the first thing we checked for when my children were going up 50 years ago. You can take a stool sample to your child%26#039;s doctor and have it checked, or after your son is sound asleep you can take a flash light to exam him in the dark as sometimes you can find worms actually crawling outside the rectum. If he would have worms there is medicine that the entire family can take, because usually if the children have them so do the parents.
