teeth grinding

my 15 month old grinds his teeth a lot. he has them all except is back molars. Should I be concerned?

Both my boys did this around that age and my six year old still sometimes does. They would only do it in their sleep though, they grew out of it and my denstist never said anything about visible damage.

my 5 year old does it in her sleep and has for a few years. your dentist can make a mouth guard that they can wear at night that will stop them from grinding there teeth. i am hoping to get one made for my kiddo soon.
