Tooth grinding at night, age 2 - normal?

Wakes me up across the hall. Dentist looked at teeth, no damage. Should I be worried?

Mine grinds when teething new molars. Stops when they're through.

Could be airway-related sometimes - worth mentioning at next check.

Super common in toddlers. Most outgrow by 5-6. As long as dentist sees no damage, nothing to do.

Ours grew out of it around 4. Wild noise though.
