I agree with everyone else. Ask a dentist.

Take him to the dentist. My son does that too. He was given a mouthgruad so he doesn't mess up his teeth.

do you mean he grinds his teeth while sleeping? if so, take him to the dentist...they can make him a mouthguard to protect his teeth while he sleeps.... :))

This is really common in small babies when they first cut their teeth. My son ground his teeth for a few weeks, but has since stopped. I would ask your doctor if it goes on for more than a month or so - but don't worry - it is more irritating to us than harmful to them : )

My boyfriends sister would grind her teeth while sleep as she was younger and I think she may still grind her teeth and she's now 18. Her teeth should be i guess you could say "taller" than they should be. her teeth are now short due to grinding them and i do believe that children can use a mouth guard as well. just go to your dentist and im sure you child can get one to fit his mouth :)

If adults grind there teeth while sleep its recommended they use a mouth guard while sleeping, maybe its the same with children (depending on age) i would see you GP or dentist. It can damage there teeth.
