My son is 18 months and I am trying to take away his pacifier. (Bottle already gone) Except he grinds his teeth once I take the pacifer out. I have tried giving him teething rings to chew but he still does it from time to time anyone have any suggestions.

My son had this problem too, and he still does - just not as serious as it used to be. I asked the dentist, and he said that there's really nothing you can do to stop a young child from grinding his teeth - you can't exactly use a night guard on a kid, because they wouldn't keep it in for any length of time. He basically told me not to concern myself with it until he got his adult teeth or started causing damage. Luckily, we didn't have to worry about the damage issue, and his problem seems to have gotten better as he's gotten older (he's 6 now).

has she basically been doing it for a short quantity of time? Does it come and circulate? if so... it must be teething. She isn't used to all this issues(tooth) in her mouth, she would not know that she isn't meant to play with them. And, she might do it because of the fact it gets a reaction out of you. She is eighteen months previous, forget approximately it the final you could and point out it at her 18 month checkup if she has no longer stopped by skill of then. My son is eighteen months.. he did this every time he replaced into teething. it would final approximately 2 weeks and end until he have been given new tooth lower back... he now has sixteen tooth!

I still grind my teeth to this day from childhood. My preschooler has been doing so from pretty early on in infanthood/toddlerhood. She didn't suck on a pacifier at all. [Now I know how irritating it is for others, though I don't do it on purpose.] Good luck.

I think you should do it at stages so that you let him have when he wants, but try to make the intervals longer and longer. When he wants it you may show him something else, perhaps he will accept it and forget the pacifier

The dentist would know what to do.
