Hello!

My Miss 15month old grinds her teeth and it’s loud. I am not sure how to get her to stop, shes never had a dummy nor is she a biter, but she grinds her teeth whilst she’s awake and when she’s asleep. Hints/suggestions would be helpful please.

  • Little reminders for her. Youre grinding your teeth. Encorage some talking and answering. Even babble is good conversation . Is it teeth? bothering her?


  • A dentist might be able to give you some hints on how to get her to stop.


  • there are some good comments here


  • she will grow out of it in time


  • Hopefully they will grow out of it – otherwise I’d speak to your dentist as they have ways to help.


  • i hope it went well


  • Thankfully mine has nearly stopped doing this and only does it every so often


  • HOpe you find the answer you are looking for.


  • How is she going now?


  • I am hoping for you its just a phase thing


  • Hopefully you have by now found a solution. She is probably just getting used to all her teeth and hopefully it has passed


  • Kids biscuit which should teach not to grind teeth.


  • It is a phase, that will pass eventually, they are really just getting used to their teeth.


  • How are you going with your child grinding her teeth?


  • I don’t think you can stop this without a mouth guard. Talk to your dentist about it


  • talk to your dentist and child health nurse


  • Talk to your dentist


  • You cant


  • you could have a chat with your dentist to see what they recommend.


  • I think you should try to get her a mouthguard ASAP so she doesnt damage her teeth while she breaks the habit. A dentist will have better advice about stopping the grinding though.
