Question
My child is two years old, and he often grinds his teeth during naptime at night. What is the reason for this? Have there been any treatment situations and effects? What kind of assistance am I looking for? I want to know what’s happening and how to get rid of it permanently?
Answer
Grinding teeth in children may be due to parasites in the intestines, particularly tapeworms. It could also be because of excessive fatigue or overexcitement during the day, especially if the child is too tired from playing. It might also be caused by poor digestion in the stomach. It is recommended to let the child relax before their naptime, 1-2 hours before, and avoid doing too much tense or intense exercise. Adjust the diet to include easy-to-digest, nutritious foods and not overeat. If intestinal parasites are found, they should be treated under a doctor’s guidance. Wishing your child good health and happiness.
