Patient's question:
What is the reason for a child grinding their teeth at night? The child is 6 years old and has no other symptoms, just grinding their teeth while sleeping. Treatment history and effectiveness: What kind of help do you want: Please explain what causes grinding teethDoctor's answer:
Children in this age group grow and develop very rapidly, and their demand for many nutrients and trace elements is also relatively high. If there is a deficiency of something in their bodies, it will manifest as additional symptoms. For example, if your child grinds their teeth after napping, as in your child's case, it indicates a calcium deficiency. For children, grinding teeth at night is common when they are calcium-deficient. Please rest assured, this is not a major issue. Just supplementing with calcium will be sufficient.
