Patient's question:
What is the reason for a one-year-old child grinding their teeth? It makes a clicking sound at night. They have nine teeth. Treatment history and effectiveness: No examination has been conducted. Desired help: How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
This is a case of bruxism, which is generally caused by calcium deficiency. Additionally, roundworm infection can also lead to grinding teeth. The baby is likely calcium-deficient. Nowadays, children's diets are relatively clean, so it's highly unlikely for them to get roundworm infection, which can be ruled out. It's best to have the baby tested for trace elements. If there's a deficiency, it's important to provide timely digestive support for the baby. It's recommended to supplement calcium with cod liver oil, as it has high absorption and utilization rates. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does a one-year-old child grind their teeth at night?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
