Many parents have reported that their children may experience gritting of teeth around the age of one, and some parents may not be able to handle this phenomenon correctly. If a child experiences gritting of teeth, it is important to find the correct cause so as not to affect their physical health. So, what is the problem with gritting teeth at the age of one?
1. When a child is around one year old, grinding teeth during sleep can also be caused by roundworms in the stomach. If they are still in the large intestine, parasites in the stomach can lead to poor sleep quality and grinding teeth.
2. Overeating dinner can also cause children to grit their teeth. After a child falls asleep, there is a lot of food stored in their stomach and intestines, which can cause their digestive system and work overtime, so their chewing muscles also start working.
3. Excessive excitement in children's nerves can also lead to the phenomenon of grinding teeth. For example, listening to some exciting stories or watching tense TV dramas can stimulate one's brain and remind them of the phenomenon of grinding teeth at night.
4. Some children also use blankets to cover their heads when sleeping at night, which can lead to grinding teeth. If a child always grinds their teeth, it can cause tooth wear and tear, expose the essence of the child's teeth, and cause allergic symptoms such as soreness. In severe cases, it can also lead to the imagined occurrence of pulpitis. Therefore, children should treat grinding teeth correctly and solve them promptly.
