how do you bite your teeth? the teeth are what you use to bite things with. Is it that she grinds her teeth? if so, depending upon age, it could be stress.

My daughter did this for a while. I research it on the net and turn out to be Bruxism. I don't know if what your daughter has is the same but apart from this problem my daughter has stopped speaking. She is 4years old and was previously very advanced in speaking. Her speech slowing regressed when she was 2 1/2. She is a very happy child but only her speech is a problem. Also she has always been a terrible sleeper: (teeth grinding perhaps)
Below is more info on teeth grinding

Note: I don't think my daughter's teeth grinding is related to her speech problem, but I will not rule this out.

Children do tend to grind their teeth; apparently it is a normal thing. My son's pediatrician said not to worry about it until the permanent teeth come in. And make sure your child is seeing a pediatric dentist every six months to make sure the development is coming along properly. Soothe the child while they are sleeping; rub their cheek, rub their tummy, rub their back. This will help for a little while...but you really must take her to the dentist.

Lots of reasons. Some have to do with the parents, soory, but most don't.
I have been doing this since I was a baby.
I guess I was just born with the stress??? Who knows.
There are affordable guards out now.
She may need more time before she can get into them, but there is nothing you can do for this if you have already tried soothing her at night. Not that this is the answer, it is just a possibility.
My other siblings didn't do this. Just me.

Do you mean she grinds her teeth? This is fairly common and is thought to be caused by anxiety. She can wear a rubber or plastic guard (like boxers wear) that will prevent damage.

I used to have that problem too as a kid and my dad noticed it.
It was because a feeling of insecurity or so he told me. He made sure to make an effort to bong with me after that and it kinda gradually went away.
He made sure we did stuff I liked doing together. I was in my early teens then. I hope this helps.

Because it gives her pleasure. Normally the action is due to a stress action: she had a busy day, she has something stressing to do tomoorow.
No kidding: wake her up and send her to the bathroom to PI. It realves the brain with one stress.

if she's not teething it's a nervous response. might have to get her to wear a bite plate. talk to your dentist

If she is older her bite might be a bit off. She should see a dentist.
If she is stressed it might just be nerves.

Lack of calcium.
Give her more dairy products like cheese, cottage cheese Yogurt if she does not like to drink milk. Sardines in oil (with bones) Canned salmon (with bones)Broccoli are all rich sources of calcium.
