Not to worry: Perfectly normal, he should grow out of it as he ages.

Don't worry: Lots of kids grind their teeth because they are bad king up the computer (dreaming about what they learned that day) and because as jaws grow they grind their teeth to make them fit better. Review your concerns with your Dentist, and when your son turns 7 take him to an Orthodontist for a free initial examination and a discussion of future needs.

At what age can children start flossing on their own? Our five year old son fights us whenever we try to brush his teeth, and tries to grab the toothbrush to do it on is own. I don't think he does a very good job. Is five too early to let him do this?
