How do I get my 13 month old daughter to stop grinding her teeth???????

How do I get my 13 month old daughter to stop grinding her teeth???????
Best bet is a teething toy. Around that age they are discovering that they have a few teeth, and that they can make a special sound. It will most likely stop in a couple of months. Just affirm in your quest to make it stop. Be persistent in that it's "not nice" or use the term "no" when she starts. Although she can't communicate much at this point, one of the first things babies learn is the word NO. Good luck!!
Reply:My Son did that for quite a while too, especially at night. One day, it just stopped! Sorry I don't have an answer, but I thought I'd let you know you are not alone...





Good Luck!
Reply:Distract her with a teething toy!
Reply:My 13 1/2 month old daughter does that too, but she doesnt do it all of the time, I guess its where she is getting use to having so many teeth. But that noise drives me crazy my husband does it too when hes sleeping and I have to yell at hime to get him to stop.
Reply:my son does that all the time too.. I don't know that there is a way to stop him... but I think he is just getting use to the teeth in his mouth... he's learning.. he's got teeth now and is learning new things to do with them.. hoping he will stop one day.. cause it drives me crazy
Reply:This is A very good question , because I am going through the same thing with my 11mo old son and it is driving me CRAZY I can not wait to see your answers thanks for asking this it saves me from having to ask.
Reply:my daughter has an overbite and the dentist said that it is good that she grinds her teeth because it will help them to fit together better
Reply:Tooth grinding is a sign of cacium deficiency....are you breast feeding or formula feeding? She may not be absorbing what she needs. Schiff vitamins sells childens gummy vitamins that are just calcium.


Tooth grinding is also, unfortunately, a symptom of pin worms......which is pretty common until kids stop putting hands/toys in their mouth.


I'd get her checked out at the Pediatrition....blood test for calcium, stool test for worms. Both my children were positive for low calcium and...uggg..worms. Both were easily remidied! Good luck!
Reply:when they usually grind their teeth it can mean that it is possible she has worms so i would suggest you bring her to a doctor as soon as possible
