Patient's question:
My child is 6 years old and recently. They have been grinding their teeth during naps. Treatment history and effectiveness: No care has been taken. Help needed: How can this be stopped?Doctor's answer:
What is known as bruxism refers to habitual grinding of the teeth during deep sleep or unconscious grinding habits during the day, gradually softening over time, and is a long-term vicious cycle of disease. Parasitic diseases, such as having worms in the stomach, can lead to digestive system dysfunction; a lack of calcium can cause neurological dysfunction; misaligned or malformed teeth, among other factors. These factors may all contribute to pathological night grinding.Advice: It is recommended that you undergo intestinal deworming treatment, kill the worms, and increase intestinal parasite movement to impact the intestinal wall. Adequate calcium supplementation should also be considered.
