Patient's question:
The baby bites teeth during the day and before going to sleep. January 27th. Past treatment and effectiveness: None. What kind of assistance is needed: Wants to know the original reason...Doctor's answer:
Bruxism has many different causes, such as excessive mental stress, intestinal parasites, dietary disorders, and so on. It is recommended to have a thorough check-up at the hospital.If a baby grinds their teeth at night, they may sometimes be aware of it. Prolonged bruxism can interfere with deep sleep, cause excessive facial fatigue, and lead to pain in the jaw joint and local muscles when eating or speaking. The jaw joint may also make noises when opening the mouth. This can create pressure for the baby during meals and conversations, significantly affecting their quality of life. Bruxism can also harm the teeth themselves. Due to damage to the enamel, it may cause dentin hypersensitivity, leading to toothache when exposed to cold, heat, acid, or spicy foods.
During bruxism, the jaw muscles contract continuously. Over time, these muscles may thicken, changing the baby's facial shape and making the lower part of the face larger, which can affect aesthetics. It is important to help the child break this bad habit. In daily life, it is recommended to enhance the baby's immunity and resistance. Adding colostrum, such as Soul Sunshine Colostrum, can be beneficial. Wishing the baby good health.
