LO just started grinding her teeth. It sounds awful! She's 8 months old and has 3 teeth, and I think she's working on another one. Anyone else have a teeth grinder? Is this normal when teething?

LO used to grind her teeth when she first sprouted them. She stopped after a few days though!

It's totally normal. Grinding their teeth is comforting (it feels good on their sore little gums) and is sometimes exploratory (like when new teeth first come in). It used to drive me crazy, too, but she should eventually get over it.
In the meantime, try offering her a teething ring when she starts grinding her teeth. DD especially liked her vibrating teething rings at that age!

My LO used to as well. I asked my dentist and he said it was normal and not necessarily a sign of future TMJ.
