Grinding teeth is a common phenomenon in babies, especially during the period of tooth growth, when babies are more likely to grind their teeth. Usually, after going to bed at night, I grind my teeth. However, some babies also grind their teeth during the day. Besides growing teeth, are there other reasons for grinding teeth? What's wrong with a two-and-a-half-year-old baby grinding teeth?
1. Besides being related to tooth growth, the baby's grinding of teeth is also related to emotions. For example, if the baby is too excited to play before going to bed or is nervous or scared when they see something, they are prone to grinding teeth or talking in their sleep.
2. In addition, grinding teeth is also related to digestion. For example, if a baby eats too much at night, it can easily lead to the accumulation of too much food in the intestines, increasing the burden on the intestines. This will also cause the baby's chewing muscles to move, which can easily lead to grinding teeth.
3. Baby grinding teeth may be due to a lack of vitamins in the body. Some babies are picky eaters and do not like to eat vegetables, which can easily lead to imbalanced nutrition, metabolic disorders, digestive disorders, and also cause baby grinding teeth at night.
4. If there are parasites in the baby's body, they can affect the baby's mental and digestive functions, making it easy for the baby to grind their teeth. In addition, they can also cause symptoms such as anal itching, indigestion, and abdominal pain.
