My 10 month old is grinding his teeth horribly!!?

He grinds nearly all day. Someone told me to give him Baby Tylenol since he's teething but I don't want to drug him all the time. It sounds horrible! Any suggestions of what to do?

Ugh.. I remember that phase. Our son was 9/10 months when he started grinding his teeth. It lasted about 2 weeks and then suddenly stopped. Have you noticed that your son finds a new sensation or sound and does/says nothing but that for a couple weeks and then stops?
Reply:u should hurry up and try to stop him because my baby brother did that and all his teeth slanted to the side
Reply:Teething? I think that's normal, I'm no mom, but my niece did it, and she is fine
Reply:My 17 month does that also. We took him to the dentist, and she told us that it is normal, but if he does it still when he is 6 or 7, that it might be a problem.
Reply:Be patient. He will stop. If he is in pain I agree to give him a bit of Tylenol if he really needs it but basically if he is grinding he probably just enjoys the sound and the feeling even though it drives you nuts. When you hear him grinding if you can (its hard he is only 10 months) is gently squish his cheeks and tell him stop that. Maybe it will work. Or give him a toy to chew on.


I know how annoying that sound is!
Reply:Stop him while you can, it can completely ruin your teeth, and trust me, when he grows up, thats the last thing you would want for him, and if you think letting him take tylenol is like drugging him, dont worry your not, it is for his benefit.
Reply:There is toy, made available for baby that has such a problem, get to supermarket and find out, all you need to do is wash it regularly for the baby, whenever the baby want to use it. The baby will put it in is mouth and chew, grinds and feel better. it is meant for baby teeth.





good luck.
Reply:I had the same problem with my son when he was about that age. I even went as far as calling the dentist. The dentist said it was very normal for babies to do that when they get their teeth. It's just their way of exploring what's all of a sudden growing in their mouth.
