1-year-9-month-old baby grinding teeth?

Patient's question:

The baby grinds his teeth very badly when sleeping. Is it possible that he has roundworms? At what age can the baby be dewormed?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help do you expect: The more detailed the answer, the better! Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Night bruxism in children is generally believed to be caused by 1, intestinal parasites, 2, children being overly excited or too tense during the day, leading to anxiety, which causes the cerebral cortex to remain in an excited state even after falling asleep, 3, poor dental development, such as malocclusion, high cusps, uneven occlusal surfaces, cavities, or periodontitis, which can all lead to grinding. 4, babies in the teething stage may also grind their teeth, and this is normal and does not require treatment.
