Grinding

My son (born Oct. 5th of 03) has two teeth on top and bottom (center ones) and is getting the two on both sides of the the top (canines?) anywho, I just realized that he "grinds" his teeth together during the day! What's that about? I've looked at them, and the tips/edges look a bit different in color (more white) and I'm just worried that he might chip them or wear them down. What can I do, is this normal, why is he doing it, anyone else having or had the same "problem"?

it's normal...my son did it for a while around the same age and grew out of it.

but mention it the next time you go in for well baby checks and the doc will take a look to make sure there is nothing wrong.

My son is 15mos.and actually just started doing this a few weeks ago. I dont know if something is wrong but it sounds common enough to pass this off as baby discovery.
