1yo grinding teeth

[Sunrise888]

My 1yo doesn't have many! Two bottom teeth that look like they are half way out, one top tooth that has recently emerged and the other one is just visible.

Today he started grinding them. It's really loud, like he is munching on nuts! Is this normal? Will he damage them? Should we go to a dentist? I gave him his old teethers but he's not so interested. He'll chew on everything else though including me!

Yeah mine did that. Grew out of it and teeth are fine no fillings or breaks touch wood. I think theyre jist getting used to them! You could ask your dentist about it.

It used to sound like chewing ice cubes crushing or squeaking. I pretended to ignore it and then it gradually stopped. Whe i first heard it i mustve made a face of shock and alarm as he just looked blankly at it not realising.

My 1 year old started doing this a couple of months ago it was so loud and made my blood run cold. She done it constantly for 2 or 3 days then all of a sudden stopped and hasn't done it since. It was also when her teeth had just come through so think it's just a new discovery then they get bored.

My son did this it stopped by the time he got some of his molars, definitely try ice cubes or teething rings when they do it! www.theunstoppablemama.online

Thanks for the advice and reassurance! He seems to have stopped already, which is a relief. I couldn't believe how much noise 3 emerging teeth could make!

I like how many of the reactions here was as horrified as mine was 😁
