Patient's question:
The son is eight and a half months old and is teething. But he always grinds his teeth constantly. People say this is a sign that the child is calcium deficient. Is that really the case? How should it be solved???Doctor's answer:
Teething, calcium deficiency can lead to bruxism, calcium deficiency, or exhibit many other symptoms, such as night sleep, sweating, bone development. Blood alkaline phosphatase levels can also be checked to assess calcium absorption! It can also be used to treat and prevent rickets, cartilage diseases, sweating, night terrors, poor appetite, indigestion, children's growth and development, and immune delay. Bruxism is generally caused by fatigue, high stress, or parasitic worms, among other factors! There are many treatment methods for bruxism. Clinically, the main goal is to reduce the damage caused to the occlusal surfaces of the teeth by bruxism and alleviate symptoms in the muscles and joints. The principle is to block the cause and reduce the damage.
