Hi. I have a grandson who is nine months old. During the last week he has started to grind his teeth. Should I be concerned? Should we stop him?? Thanks.
NO, there’s nothing wrong with your grandson and I think you should not try to stop him. This is very common and in younger children – his teeth are growing ant that can feel very itch. But, if he continues doing so even when he gets older such that the primary molars are worn down, he may need to have stainless steel crowns placed to rebuild the proper bite.
