Bruxism (or tooth grinding) is an oral and jaw problem that affects the person's teeth or teeth. Most people have bruxism, but it is usually mild or intermittent and does not affect someone’s health. But when molars become more frequent, it can cause serious complications that can result in serious damage to the jaws and teeth.
Not only adults may suffer from bruxism, but also 15% to 33% of children will have teeth, which mostly occurs during tooth eruption. This type of bruxism occurs when the child sleeps, and many parents notice it because they hear grated noise in the child's mouth.
There is no major treatment for young children with bruxism. Most of them lost this habit during puberty.
Here are some tips to help children reduce bruxism:
Reduce your child's stress level, especially before going to bed.
Try to massage and relax the facial muscles.
Ask your dentist to check if your child has signs or bruxism, such as tooth wear.
Make sure your child's diet contains a lot of water, because dehydration can be associated with molars.
