What should I do my son keeps grinding his teeth?

My 2 1/2 year old keeps grinding his teeth for no reason. How do I get him to stop?

What should I do my son keeps grinding his teeth?
have him checked for ear infections that can cause teeth discomfort and grinding them relieves the hurt in the middle ear. or it could just be that he just found out what it does and it amazes him. try gently with you thumb and index finger squeezing his cheecks together to make a fish face and tell him thats not nice or thats bad. if he keeps doing it squeeze harder each time. keep it up and eventually he should stop if not take him to the dentist.
Reply:I doubt that he%26#039;s still teething, but perhaps you could find him a binky. And consult your doctor, or even something online. I%26#039;m sure the answer is simple.
Reply:since I was young I have grinded my teeth. Actually I still do to this day. What my mom did for me was put a mouth gard in my mouth. It works I promis.
Reply:i dont think you can get him to stop but i think you should et him a night mouth guard to prevent damage to his teeth. im not a dr but he could also have something called tmj contact your dr and ask some questions just to be on th safe side.
Reply:you should tell him in a understanble way that if he doesnt grind his teeth for one whole day you would get him a toy or ect. and then keep rewarding him until his body gets used to that good habit. or you could take him to the dentist and have the dentist show him how his teeth will turn out to look when he grows up if he keeps doing it.
