In daily life, some babies sleep relatively quietly, but some babies are very noisy and often grind their teeth while sleeping, which not only makes it difficult for them to sleep well, but also makes it difficult for their parents to sleep well. What should a 2-year-old baby do when grinding their teeth while sleeping? Let's learn more about it through the following text.
1. Baby's teeth grinding may be caused by internal parasites. It is recommended that parents disinfect their baby during the spring and autumn seasons every year. Insecticides can be purchased from pharmacies, and only after taking them can a light diet be effective.
2. Wash your hands frequently before and after meals. Many babies do not develop the habit of washing their hands before meals and after using the bathroom, which leads to many bacteria entering their stomachs through their fingers and causing grinding of their teeth. Therefore, whether it is defecation or urination, parents should remind their babies to wash their hands.
3. Lack of calcium. Baby grinding teeth may also be caused by low calcium content. Parents should make more calcium rich complementary foods for their babies, such as fish and shrimp, pork ribs, lean meat, eggs, and dairy products, and take them to the sun to promote calcium absorption.
Grinding teeth in babies is a very common situation. If the baby still grinds teeth after deworming treatment, it may be due to calcium deficiency. Parents need to supplement calcium for the baby, including high calcium supplements and high calcium foods. If you have time, take your baby outdoors to promote calcium absorption. Slowly, the number of times the baby grinds their teeth will decrease.
