Question Tatum is Grinding Her Teeth....Need Help!

Hey everyone, sorry that I have not posted in a while, it seems like it's been forever About 15 minutes or so ago hubby and I heard Tatum making this noise with her mouth and I immediately thought that she was chewing on something that she was supposed to be chewing on because she was outside. So I checked inside her mouth and there was nothing in there. I checked again a few more times and found nothing so while hubby was holding her I looked inside her mouth again and while I was doing this she made the noise again and I noticed that it was her TEETH She is grinding them It is the two back bigger teeth on the left hand side of her mouth. She is using the bigger tooth in the back on the top to grind on the bigger tooth in the back on the bottom. We have never in our lives heard her do this, or any dog for that matter. I read some stuff online that kind of scared me but I wanted to come here and get your opinions on it first. I did a search on the board but most of the threads I found were about Yorkie PUPPIES grinding their teeth in their sleep. However, Tatum is almost 3 and 1/2 and she definitely wasn't asleep while doing this. She keeps doing it over and over again and this just started out of the TOTAL BLUE. I mean literally, she wasn't even doing it an hour ago. It's just soooo weird.

I took a video of her doing it and I will start uploading it online in a little while then I will post it here whenever it's finished uploading, but in the meantime I just wanted to see what everyone here thought first. Has anyones babies ever done this? If so, what was the cause?

None of her teeth feel loose to me at all. Her teeth aren't even as bad as Stedman's are (as far as them needing to be cleaned goes). I am just so confused by this. I want her to stop doing it because I don't want her to mess up her teeth, but I have no idea how to get her to stop or even why she is doing it really

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys
