tooth grinding- ew!

yesterday when i was feeding the kids breakfast, i heard a funny noise from celia. i thought i imagined it, then she did it agin- i SWEAR she is GRINDING her teeth!!!! how the heck do you grind 4 tiny teeth and make NOISE with it?!?!? oh it is SOOOOO gross!!!! anyone else's kids do that? oh, even thinking about it gives me chills. ugh. i hope this is a QUICK phase!!! :crazy:

 

both of mine do it and it is such an awful sound!!! they have been doing it for about 2 weeks now. ugh! i hope they stop soon!

 

Jake went through a phase of doing that! :wacko:

 

Lauren did it too and I was the same way...ready to climb the walls. I unintentionally yelled STOP one time and she cried so hard, poor baby. I really wasn't yelling at her, just sort of reacted because it went right up my spine. I didn't find anyway to stop her but it did last a few weeks.

 

Yup! Add me to the list, both of my girls do it too!

Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, ugghh! :shok:

 

My DS also does it and it makes me CRINGE. I know he can't help it but it just drives me up the wall. I hope he stops doing it soon :wacko:

 

Count me in! Jonah does this. He has 4 top teeth, but ONE bottom tooth. He grinds that bottom tooth up against the top, and it is like nails on a chalkboard. He didn't do it today (knock on wood) so maybe it was just a week or so of driving Mommy crazy!

OMG!!!! I remember that phase!!! It was aweful. Lorien used to do it all the time. It went on for a good month or so. She only seemed to do it when those first bottom and top teeth came in. I used to cringe when she did it and would even stick her pacifier in her mouth to stop her from doing it but she would still do it even with the paci in her mouth. It was like running finger nails down the chalk board Eeeeeeeeek!!!

 

My oldest daughter did that too. It was awful. I would quickly distract her by tickling her, playing with her etc., so she would stop and not get used to doing this terrible habit. It did brake it quickly. Giving her attention for it the first couple of days only made it worse and that is when I resorted to the distractions. Good Luck!

 

Both of my DGS's are doing it... they have 8 teeth each and make funny little faces as they grind away.
Lindy, mom to Stephanie and Nana to
Cameron and Corey

 

Will does it and it is AWFUL! He only seems to do it when he is eating. John has not done it yet....hope it does not start!

 

I started reading the posts but I had to stop b/c they were all making me squirm and cringe! I HATE tooth grinding, my DD#1 did it for the longest time and it drove me out of my freaking Mina mind! 8P :crazy:

Yuk! - us, too, with the twin that has enough teeth to grind. She doesn't do it as much anymore, so hopefully we're coming out of it.
