The quietest time for every baby is definitely when they are sleeping, and parents often sigh: it can be considered quiet for a while. But some children grind their teeth while sleeping, and parents often find it difficult to laugh or cry. At the same time, they cannot help but worry: what if the child grinds their teeth frequently?
There are several reasons why children grind their teeth:
1. Children have parasites in their intestines, which not only plunder nutrients but also stimulate the digestive system, causing indigestion.
2. Eating extra meals or overeating at night can increase the burden on the stomach.
3. Lack of vitamin D often accompanies symptoms such as midnight surprise, excessive sweating, and irritability.
4. Watching thrilling or tense TV dramas before bedtime can cause the nervous system to be in an excited state.
5. Irregular arrangement of teeth, poor feeling of biting food, and subconsciously chewing muscles at night.
6. Poor sleeping posture can cause pressure on one side of the chewing muscle, leading to abnormal contraction of the chewing muscle.
Finding the cause of grinding teeth naturally solves the problem easily:
1. Pay attention to expelling parasites from the baby, and also ensure that the baby has good hygiene and dietary habits
2. Don't go to bed directly after dinner, it's best to wait for about 2 hours before falling asleep.
3. Take more sunshine to supplement vitamins.
Before going to bed, you can listen to some gentle stories or TV shows to help children fall asleep with a calm mood.
5. Regularly check the growth status of teeth and correct any problems in a timely manner.
6. Pay attention to the sleeping position of the baby and try to avoid sleeping with their head covered.
