Patient's question:
What is the reason why your baby sometimes grinds their teeth while sleeping? Also, it has been one or two months since their permanent teeth haven't grown, and so far, only 8 teeth have grown. What should you do? Also, can potatoes, raisins, and dates be cooked together and eaten?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons why children grind their teeth. Functional endocrine disorders of the spleen and stomach, intestinal worms, oral diseases, and calcium deficiency can all lead to bruxism. It is necessary to identify the cause. If calcium deficiency is suspected, a trace element test is required. If intestinal worms are suspected, a stool examination should be conducted to check for eggs. If infection is suspected, a urine test is needed to determine whether it is a bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. If oral diseases are suspected, a systematic examination by an oral surgeon is necessary.
