    Is there such a thing?

    Our daughter is slightly concerned about my grandbaby. (OK, she is
just a bit "over the top" but that is another story)  A normal, active,
toddler, he likes to click and grind his teeth.  You can hear it from
across a quiet room.  He is a normal kid about 15 months old with an
apparently normal complement of teeth.

    Is this perhaps normal behavior?  Their strategy so far is to
ignore the behavior on the theory that doing anything will likely make
it worse.

    I haven't bothered to get that dentistry degree yet, but I don't
think that an NTI will be a realistic option.

Thanks;

grandmom to put the kid down long enough to get on the plane)

    The trip home was uneventful (that is a good thing).  We will work on the
pictures.

IME, lots of kids grind their teeth (hmm...lots of adults grind their
teeth too).
Anyway, until the kids are 15 or so, I kind of do my best to ignore the
problem until the permament teeth are erupted, skelatal growth has
reached
a plateau, and I can make an NTI.

I haven't figured out a way to stop bruxism and allow for growth at the
same time.
