If your child just started grinding his teeth, it might be another thing all together. Sometimes teeth grinding is a result of an ear infection or they could be cutting a new tooth. Watch for signs of these things such as rubbing on his ears or drooling or biting. If it's teething, the grinding will probably stop once the tooth has broken through the gums. If it is an ear ache, you will want to go to the pediatrician and have that looked at.
