Some babies may experience some minor accidents during their growth process, such as grinding their teeth in their daily lives. Some parents may overlook this small phenomenon and think it is normal. But little babies have a lot of knowledge when it comes to grinding their teeth. What's going on with a baby grinding their teeth? Let's learn about it together.
What's wrong with a 3-year-old baby grinding their teeth
1. Intestinal parasitic disease
The toxins produced by roundworms stimulate nerves, causing them to become excited and leading to tooth grinding. Pinworms can also secrete toxins and cause anal itching, affecting children's sleep and making grinding sounds.
Solution: If there is intestinal parasitic disease, early deworming is necessary.
2. Excessive mental tension
Watching thrilling fight TV shows at night and playing excessively before going to bed can cause mental stress and teeth grinding.
If someone is scolded by their parents for a long time due to something, it can cause depression, anxiety, and also lead to grinding teeth at night.
Solution: Set up a comfortable and harmonious home environment for children, watch less TV at night, and avoid excessive excitement.
3. Digestive dysfunction
Children who eat too much at night accumulate a lot of food in their intestines when they fall asleep, which puts a heavy burden on their gastrointestinal tract and causes them to grind their teeth involuntarily while sleeping.
Solution: The diet should be balanced with meat and vegetables, and the bad habit of picky eating should be avoided. Dinner should be light and not excessive.
What do children lack when grinding their teeth
1. Most of it is caused by poor digestion. Some children like to eat too much before going to bed at night, causing their digestive system to not stop working and leading to grinding teeth.
2. Children with calcium deficiency and restless sleep may also cause grinding teeth.
3. Not rinsing and brushing teeth before bedtime, and not paying attention to oral hygiene, can also cause grinding of teeth.
4. Grinding teeth may also indicate the presence of worms in the stomach. If there are worms in the stomach, timely deworming should be done.
Parents need to pay more attention to their babies' teeth grinding, promptly identify the cause of their teeth grinding, and prescribe the right medicine. Don't take teeth grinding lightly. Also, in the process of taking care of a baby, it is necessary to have an appropriate amount of food and love. Do not give too much to the baby to avoid unnecessary consequences.
