Try giving him chewy candy like starbursts. Plus telling him no helps.
Reply:It is common for children to grind their teeth in their sleep, most of the time they grow out of it. I know it's like running your nails down a chalkboard. But if it continues to get worse, take him to the denist and he may be able to fit him with a mouth piece or give you advice on what you can do. My oldest has been grinding her teeth since she was about 4 and now she's 23 and still grinds. The problem is over the years of grinding she has developed TMJ, which is nerve damage to her jaw, she can't eat an foods that are crunchy or chewy now. She has to take Nuproxin every 2 weeks, for 5 days, 3x a day. And if she has to go to the denist to have her teeth worked on, he doubles her Nuproxin 3 days before she goes in. Along with TMJ she can't open her mouth very wide without a lot of pain.
Reply:I did that when I was a kid. It usually is a symptom of stress or something difficult he needs help getting through
Reply:Has something significant happened recently? A bereavement? Family problems? New baby? Has something happened at daycare or playgroup? Teeth grinding is usually stress-related, and the best way to stop it is to find out what is bothering him. In the meantime it might be a good idea to get him a mouthguard.


Good luck!
Reply:take him to see his pediatrician, usually it is a sign of something medically going on that can be remedied with medication. ( in the islands the first thing they would do is treat the child for worms)
