11 Month Old Grinding His Four Teeth

Honestly, there is nothing you could do to get him to stop because it's involuntary. Our son is 4 and does it when he's asleep. I asked our dentist about it and he looked at his teeth and didn't seem to be concerned. Certainly consider getting him into the dentist to get him adjusted to seeing a dentist while he's young. If you do decide to look for a dentist, find one that doesn't sedate children and works more with short visits to get the child comfortable with having dental check-ups. I avoided looking for a dentist because I thought they all sedated kids and I don't agree with that type of approach but when I spoke to our family dentist he assured me that they also didn't agree with sedation and not all dentists sedate. To this day our son loves going to the dentist and has been so cooperative and I doubt he would feel the same way if we had taken him to one that sedated him.

This is normal. Both of mine did it as well and they eventually stopped.

IT probably is him discovring his teeth how ever that is not good for his teeth or jaws, i would nip this in the bud. J.

YES! I remember my now 3 year old doing that! We used to all cringe because the sound was like nails on a chalk board for us! Anyway, I didn't worry too much about it because several of my mom friends we experiencing the same thing with their kids. So, I think it is completely normal.

My daughter has 8 teeth, with 1 more about to break gums and 3 more budding. And she still does it..drives me nuts!! Dont worry its absolutely normal :o)
