How to treat children's teeth grinding How to treat children's teeth grinding

Because there are many reasons for children's teeth grinding, treatment should be targeted at the cause. For example, create a comfortable sleeping environment for the baby, timely deworming, calcium supplementation, treatment of caries, treatment of malnutrition, rickets and other primary diseases, and correction of symptoms of poor tooth occlusion, etc., to reduce teeth grinding.

If the baby has parasites in the intestines, or has digestive problems, or is too nervous, it is easy for the baby to grind his teeth while sleeping at night. Once parents find that the baby has this condition, they should take the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment, otherwise it will cause great harm to the child's health. So, how to treat children's teeth grinding?
1. Create a comfortable environment: If the baby is too excited before going to bed, too tired from playing, too nervous before going to bed, etc., he will also have symptoms of teeth grinding when sleeping at night. Therefore, parents should create a good living environment for their children, avoid excessive excitement before going to bed, do not let the baby watch TV before going to bed, and let the baby read before going to bed to relieve negative emotions such as mental tension, which can alleviate the situation of teeth grinding at night.
2. Eliminate parasites: Some children have parasites in their intestines due to unhygienic diet, and they will grind their teeth when they sleep at night. At this time, you can use drugs such as intestinal worm clearing to eliminate parasites under the guidance of a doctor. When there are no parasites in the intestines, the symptoms of teeth grinding can be relieved.
3. Calcium supplement: If the baby's body is deficient in calcium, it will also cause the baby to grind his teeth at night. Therefore, when the baby grinds his teeth at night, you should take the baby to the hospital for a trace element test. After confirming that it is calcium deficiency, you can let the baby take appropriate calcium tablets, cod liver oil or drink more milk and other high-calcium foods, and get more sun exposure to promote the body's absorption of calcium and relieve the symptoms of nighttime teeth grinding.
4. Treatment of tooth decay: If the baby does not pay attention to oral hygiene and causes tooth decay, tooth pain may also lead to bruxism. If this is the cause, the baby should be taken to the dentist for examination and treatment of tooth decay in time to relieve the symptoms of bruxism.
5. Supplement probiotics: If the baby eats too much at night, the gastrointestinal burden will increase, and teeth grinding symptoms will occur while sleeping. Therefore, pay attention to let the baby's dinner be light and not eat too much. At the same time, supplement the baby with some probiotics to regulate intestinal health and relieve teeth grinding symptoms.
6. Treat the primary disease: If the child is in the period of tooth replacement, but has malnutrition, rickets and other diseases, it will lead to poor growth and development of teeth, uneven occlusal surface of teeth, and thus symptoms of bruxism. At this time, the primary disease should be treated in time, and the symptoms of poor tooth occlusion should be corrected to reduce bruxism.
