DS2 grinds his teeth too. Most horrible sound ever! His top teeth just came out and he stopped for now. The dental hygienist told me it's totally normal. Kids will also do it too when their adult teeth come in.

LO did a lot of tooth grinding right when she got her top teeth in (the bottom were already in). She got over it in like a week or two and rarely did it. She is currently sort of in a biting phase but I don't think she means to do it. She gnaws on everything inanimate but hasn't tried to bite bare skin on DH or I. The problem is that sometimes if there is a wrinkle in my clothing or something, she tries to bite my clothes but actually gets my skin underneath too. I assume it is a phase that will pass too. We don't really do anything about it beyond exclaiming "Ouch!! it hurts mommy when you bite!" but I don't know that she understands me (she's 12 mo).
