How to deal with bruxism during the day for 11 months

Patient's question:

The baby is eleven months old. Recently, they have been grinding their teeth a lot during the day. Who knows what's going on? Please help take a look. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

1. If the baby doesn't want to eat, zinc supplements can be given.
2. For dry hands and feet, infant moisturizing cream can be used.
3. For coughs, my baby's cough is relieved by drinking pear and plum stewed iced water, which is quite effective.
4. When the baby grinds their teeth, take them to a shopping mall or a milk powder store to shield their mouth from chewing gum. Habitual grinding of teeth during sleep or grinding teeth unconsciously is called bruxism. The cause of nighttime grinding is still unclear. It is believed to be related to psychological, emotional, dental, systemic, occupational, and spontaneous factors.
