grinding teeth - doing it ALOT

DS (almost 4) has been a teeth grinder for the last 18 months.

Character is very funny, sunny and optimistic BUT does keep alot to himself and isn't that confident.

Well FINALLY got him to let destist have a look - his teeth are indeed flat but no signs of cavities or problems.

What the heck can I do? The grinding is so bad I can hear it from the living room - I tend to go straight to him and hold his hand and whisper - seems to help.

Any experiences - what can I do? I can't help but think it's an emotional thing and I just want to help.
