Looking for advice/tips

My daughter (who’s turning 2 in a couple weeks) recently started grinding her teeth. So far she only does it before bed, after I’ve brushed her teeth. Anyone have any tips on getting her to stop?

Oh my gosh my daughter did this too for quite a while and I had no idea to make her stop lol. She kinda just stopped on her own but it definitely took a while

The noise is the worst part. I just don’t want it to get to the point where dentists have to intervene

@Nicole agreed, the noice was very irritating. I was concerned about it becoming an issue as well, I guess whenever she would do it I’d just give her a distraction like a toy, a snack, whatever I could that would make her focus on something besides grinding her teeth. It worked, but she eventually stopped doing it on her own.

My daughter did this too. When I caught her I would just give her something to chew on or go and brush her teeth to give her a different sensation in her mouth. She grew out of it.

They’re getting their two year molars. It’s painful and they want to chew and put pressure: try teathers

Molar muncher on Amazon! (Or wherever) There are amazing for my daughter 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

My son started grinding his as well

my son did this when he was like 8 months till 12 months i didnt know how to stop it! his pediatrician said all you can do is try to stop him every time he does it and wait or give him a drop of lime every time he did it🍋‍🟩 i did the lime thing and it worked sometimes but i felt bad so i stopped and waited till he stopped 😅

@Jen this is exactly what I did when mine started. Thankfully she got over it in a day maybe 2
