It makes an awful noise, it has to be bad for his teeth, I dont know what to do to make him stop. I catch him doing it all the time. He has 2 bottom teeth and 4 top teeth, all in front.

Our nine-month-old does this. We're sure its just his way of getting use to having teeth (he's working on number 10 already!), but we still try to keep him from doing it much. He's easy enough to teach, so we just touch his lips with our finger and say, "no, no" and he usually stops and goes back to playing. It's not exactly a novel aproach but I didn't want you to think I was just smarting off when I deal with this problem as straightforwardly as I do any of the undesirable behaviors our children exhibit. Tell him to stop.

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.

His doctor can give him a special mouthpiece to wear while he is alseep. Grinding teeth can lead to other problems, like loss of enamel, migraine headaches,etc. So this is something that should be taken care of!

He's just not use to the sensation of having teeth in his mouth. Eventually he'll outgrow it. It's just a phase so I wouldn't do anything about it, and plus there really isn't anything you can do when it comes to this sort of stuff. You just have to let him do it for awhile and eventually he'll get bored with it and he'll stop.

different places sell rubber guards that you can wear to keep from grinding your teeth down. talk to his dentist for details, but that sounds like what he needs.
