So what harm does baby sleep molars have?
What's the harm of baby's molars
1. Affect sleep quality
Children's grinding will not only wake up their parents, but also affect their sleep quality. Many children in the molar, sleep is very shallow, and even wake up crying, resulting in sleep quality decline.
2. Affect facial muscles
If the child's molars are in a serious condition, it will cause pain in the jaw joint and local muscles, affecting daily diet and speech. The mandible joint may also make noise when it is moving, which may cause trouble to children.
What should babies do when they sleep and grind their teeth
1. Promote digestion massage
For molars caused by eating before bedtime, parents can massage their children's abdomen before bedtime. After rubbing the palm of your hand, put it on your child's navel and massage gently. Turn it clockwise and anticlockwise for 2-3 minutes, twice a day. Massage can stimulate the intestinal peristalsis of children, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of food.
2. Adjust tooth tissue
For molars caused by tooth development, the occlusion balance can be established by grinding a small amount of tooth tissue, removing occlusion interference and early occlusion contact, so as to achieve the physiological balance among teeth, jaw, masticatory muscle and temporomandibular joint, and eliminate the symptoms of molars.
What's the reason for baby's molars
1. Add food or eat too much before going to bed
If you eat too much before bedtime or add food to your baby before bedtime, it is easy to cause molars at night, because these conditions will increase the burden on your baby's stomach, force the digestive system to work at night, and even drive your teeth to chew unconsciously, causing molars.

If the baby is too excited and tired in the daytime, or listens to the impressive story before going to bed, or watches the frightened cartoon, these will stimulate their sensitive nerves, cause mental tension or excitement, and prone to molars.
3. Hypoplasia of teeth
During tooth replacement, if malnutrition occurs, congenital individual teeth fall off, and the upper and lower teeth contact with the occlusal surface unevenly, the molars will also be caused. At this time, we should take the child to the stomatology department to let the doctor check whether there is malocclusion of teeth, make reasonable correction, and at the same time, we can treat malnutrition.
4. Unbalanced absorption of nutrients
Some children have the habit of picky food since childhood, especially do not like to eat green vegetables, long-term unbalanced nutrition absorption, resulting in the lack of calcium, phosphorus, various vitamins and trace elements, resulting in the involuntary contraction of facial masticatory muscles when sleeping at night, which will lead to back and forth grinding.
