Question

My child is 3 years old and grinds their teeth while sleeping at night. What should I do for treatment? I haven’t treated it before and want to know what to do.

Answer

Based on your description, bruxism is often caused by internal parasites, calcium deficiency, or excessive psychological stress. It is recommended to have a detailed examination of trace elements at the hospital to determine the cause and receive additional treatment. It is suggested to relax yourself before bedtime, avoid stimulating foods and smoking, and improve the sleeping environment. Try to avoid drinks or foods containing caffeine. Eat more vitamin-rich foods. Relieve stress, relax your mood, and readjust your mindset.
