How does child sleep grind a tooth to return a responsibility? Reasons for children's molars

Many mothers have this kind of confusion. Children will grind their teeth after sleeping. At night, their small teeth will squeak. So why do children grind their teeth when they sleep? Is grinding because there is Ascaris in their belly? Sihaiwang life editor has summed up some reasons for your baby's sleep grinding. You can have a look!

Euphoria

Before going to sleep, they play excessively, are too excited or tired, or are frightened, uneasy and anxious, or are nervous in learning, which makes the excitation and inhibition process of their cerebral cortex lose balance, and induces the movement of masticatory muscles to have a temporary irregular spasm or contraction, resulting in grinding teeth at night.

Incorrect sleep position

The phenomenon of molars at night may be related to the wrong sleeping posture. People who are used to sleeping on one side are prone to abnormal contraction of the muscle on the pressed side, resulting in molars at night. In addition, people who like to cover their quilts when they sleep are prone to molars because of the lack of oxygen supply to the brain.

Intestinal parasites

Ascaris lumbricoides most like to move in the intestines after children fall asleep, and secrete a variety of toxins. Toxins stimulate the gut, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, cause dyspepsia, periumbilical pain, and restless sleep; if toxins stimulate nerves, cause nerve excitement, and cause molars. Enterobiasis also secretes toxins and causes anal pruritus, which affects children's sleep and makes grinding sound.

Digestive dysfunction

For example, if you eat too much food before going to bed, a large amount of food overflows the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates the digestive tract. The nerves transmit these stimulations to the brain, which excites the brain cells that manage digestion, and causes molars through reflexes.

Malnutrition

Some people have the habit of picky eating, especially do not like to eat vegetables, forming the unbalanced nutrition, resulting in the lack of calcium, phosphorus, various vitamins and trace elements, causing the involuntary contraction of the facial chewing muscles at night, and the teeth will grind back and forth.

Oral diseases

Patients with oral diseases, such as chronic periodontitis, poor upper and lower occlusion, will have difficulties in occlusion, and there will be 'premature contact point' between the upper and lower teeth. Causes the masticatory muscle group to have the excessive tension to cause to sleep at night to have the molars.

Hypocalcemia

Blood calcium underground may also cause molars to sleep at night, because when blood calcium is low, it may lead to the instability of cerebral cortex function. When encountering various stimuli, it is easy to lead to the disorder of cerebral cortex function, resulting in the continuous contraction of masticatory muscle group and molars.
