A member asked:

My 11 month old daughter just started grinding her 2 top and 2 bottom teeth what can i do to prevent this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: Children grind baby teeth to accommodate for jaw growth and because their minds are so active. It's not unusual. You should, however, take your daughter to a Pediatric Dentist (for the same reasons she sees a Pediatric Physician) for her 1st Dental Exam on her 1st b'day to evaluate, dent-facial growth & development, diet, fluoride, oral hygiene, and so much more.
