Question

How can children’s bruxism be cured?

Answer

There are several possible causes and corresponding solutions for children’s bruxism:

  • Parasitic Infection: If a child has parasites in their body, it may cause abdominal pain and bruxism symptoms. It is important to take the child to the hospital for deworming treatment and teach them good hygiene habits.
  • Calcium Deficiency: A lack of sufficient calcium may also lead to bruxism. Appropriate supplementation with vitamin D and calcium should be provided to promote calcium absorption and prevent bruxism.
  • Eating Snacks Before Bed: If a child has the habit of eating snacks before bed, this not only increases the risk of tooth decay but may also cause the digestive system to work at night, leading to bruxism. It is advisable to avoid giving children snacks before bedtime. Please seek professional medical advice based on the child’s specific situation.
