Question: My son grinds his teeth in his sleep. Is there anyway to keep him from doing this? Should I consult with his dr.? He's 5 yrs. old. ( Thnx in advance!)

Answers:
There is nothing you should do at this stage, lots of kids grind their teeth and eventually grow out of it. If he continues to do it as he gets older and it starts to affect his adult teeth then your Dentist may be able to make him a splint to wear at night.

Other Answers:
yea . talk to his doctor.

go to the dentist, his gums are probably swollen

first why does that person think that grinding teeth means swollen gums?
This is a common thing..grinding of ones teeth. Some people do it while dreaming , others when dreaming when their lives are to stressful, and others just do. See a doc. asking the doc is the only good advice you will everget while asking anyone anything medically realted on the internet.
