During the process of children's growth, parents hope that their children can grow up healthy. They are most afraid of abnormal symptoms in their children's bodies. If the cause is not identified in a timely manner and treatment is delayed, it will pose a threat to their children's physical health. Recently, some parents have found that their children often have tooth grinding and want to know what is missing when they grind their teeth?
When children grind their teeth, the first thing to consider may be a lack of calcium, because when children lack calcium in their bodies, it can easily lead to disorders in calcium and phosphorus metabolism, causing muscle spasms, nighttime grinding, sweating, waking up and other uncomfortable symptoms. At this time, parents need to give their children more calcium rich foods, and if necessary, calcium supplements can be used to supplement calcium.
Children grinding their teeth may also be due to lack of attention to their diet, leading to gastrointestinal digestive disorders. When food accumulation or indigestion occurs, toxins are secreted by the gut microbiota, which can stimulate the cerebral cortex, causing an imbalance between excitation and inhibition, resulting in nighttime grinding. In addition, excessive excitement in children before going to bed can easily lead to grinding teeth at night.
Grinding teeth in children may also be caused by intestinal parasitic infections, such as roundworms and pinworms. Parasites parasitize the large intestine of the human body, not only plundering nutrients and causing malnutrition in children, but also affecting the quality of their sleep, leading to restless sleep and tooth grinding. In this case, parents need to go to the hospital as soon as possible and take medication to deworming their children.
