Do not worry about this! I took my daughter to the dentist for the exact same reason and he said it is perfectly normal and expected. He said its the new sensation of having something to grind and they will grow out of it. It is particularly bad when getting molars. Why waste $80 when they'll tell you its normal toddler behavior?

My boyfriend grinds his teeth in his sleep. I sometimes do it too. I think it's fairly common.
