Why do children grind their teeth when they sleep? It is mainly caused by five reasons

Many parents have found that their children grind their teeth when they go to bed at night, and studies have found that molars can have an impact on their children's health. Grinding teeth will make the child's face too tired, when eating and speaking, it will cause pain in the mandibular joint and local muscles, and when opening the mouth, the mandibular joint will make a sound, which will make the child feel uncomfortable and affect his mood. As a result of molars, enamel is damaged, causing dentin hypersensitivity, when encountered cold, hot, sour, hot, will occur toothache. The masticatory muscles will constantly contract when grinding teeth. Over time, the masticatory muscles will become thicker and the lower end will become larger, which will change the shape of the child's face and affect the beauty.

Therefore, parents should take their children to see a doctor as soon as possible, find out the causes of children's molar, and take relevant treatment measures.

Baby molars have nothing to do with heredity. The common reasons are as follows:

intestinal parasitic disease

Children with ascariasis, because of the disturbance of Ascaris lumbricoides, intestinal wall is constantly stimulated, thus causing reflex contraction of masticatory muscles and the emergence of molars. The solution is to get rid of the insect in time every autumn. Children under two years old should not be treated with deworming.

Digestive dysfunction

Children eat too much food before going to bed, which increases the burden on the digestive system and grinds their teeth during sleep.

Nutrition imbalance

Children over picky food, will lead to a lack of vitamins and trace elements, causing the involuntary contraction of facial masticatory muscles at night, will cause molars. Therefore, parents are helping their children to develop good eating habits, so that children are not picky and fully absorb various nutrients. If necessary, take the children to the hospital for trace element determination, and supplement the corresponding nutrients according to the determination.

Nervous

During the day by parents or teachers reprimand, or too excited before bedtime, so that the brain management of masticatory muscles in the excited state, so that sleep after chewing action. Therefore, parents should try not to put pressure on their children and create a comfortable family environment for their children. Before your child goes to bed, avoid excessive excitement and watch TV that is too intense or terrifying. When molars are damaged, the child can also take an appropriate amount of tranquilizer before going to bed, such as diazepam, lumina, or Chinese patent medicine for tranquilizing the nerves.

Tooth dysplasia

During tooth change, if the child is born with malnutrition and individual teeth are missing, the uneven occlusal surface will occur when the upper and lower teeth contact, which is also the cause of molars. At this time should ask the stomatologist to check whether there is bad occlusion. If there is, it is necessary to remove the high point of teeth and prepare tooth pad. Wearing it at night can reduce the number of molars. At the same time, we should take corresponding drug treatment for malnutrition and rickets.
