Guest guest Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi all, It's been quite some time since I posted here, so I apologize if this topic has been covered and I missed it. My 5 year old daughter has been grinding her teeth constantly. I'm pretty sure I ruled out any discomfort (sinuses, ears, etc.). She only does it during the day, but I can't seem to find anything to distract her or any replacement behaviors that work. Someone suggested teaching her to chew gum, but she still hasn't grasped the concept of not swallowing it. Her OT in school tries to massage her cheeks, I verbally remind her to not " make that noise " , explained about getting " boo boos " on her teeth...nothing seems to work for more than a minute or two. I'm worried about her teeth, and (selfishly) the noise is driving me up a wall!! Anyone else have this issue with their child with DS? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
