Patient's question:
Child gritting teeth, do you need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
If a child frequently grinds their teeth, it may also be due to parasitic diseases and rickets. Roundworms are parasites that live in the human intestinal tract. While absorbing nutrients, they also secrete toxins that stimulate the intestinal wall, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, restlessness, and night grinding of teeth. In addition to the above reasons, it can not only lead to skeletal symptoms in children during their growth period, such as a square head, protruding lower edge of the ribs, and pigeon chest, but also cause neurological symptoms like excessive sweating, night sweats, and restlessness. Night grinding of teeth is also one of the symptoms. Timely treatment should be administered.
