Q: teeth grinding

asked by: Idony on February 24th, 2008

val got her 4 upper teeth recently and shes had her 2 lower teeth for a while now. within the last week or so ive noticed she is grinding her teeth a LOT. i worry about it because i grind my teeth and it made them very fragile and about 1/3 the size they should be. i dont want her to have the same problems i do. does anyone know ANYTHING i can try to get her to stop or is it just a normal phase?

I think it's pretty normal. I recall other girls mentioning this same concern, and I know Adriana went through that. I don't remember how long it lasted, but she hasn't done that in a long time.

Ya I think its normal also. They have all these teeth all of a sudden and just want to experiment with what they do! Brayden did it for a little while when he first got some on both top and bottom but now I hardly ever see him do it. Just wait it out a little bit.

Kaylee did it too for a while & I HATE that sound! It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. I can't remember how long it lasted but I don't think it was more than a couple weeks!
