Question
What are the reasons and treatment methods for a baby grinding teeth at night?
Answer
The reasons for a child grinding their teeth at night can be multifaceted, including imbalances in Spleen and stomach function, endocrine disorders, intestinal parasites, oral diseases, or a lack of calcium. To identify the cause, if there is a suspicion of calcium deficiency, a check for trace elements is necessary; if there is a suspicion of intestinal parasites, a stool examination for worm eggs is needed; if there is a suspicion of infectious diseases, urine tests are required to determine whether the infection is caused by bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma. If it is due to oral diseases, a comprehensive and detailed examination by an oral department is necessary.
