7-year-old child grinds his teeth when sleeping at night

Children often have problems sleeping at night. For example, some children have very bad sleeping habits and may grind their teeth, burp, or fart. However, children's sleeping habits are developed gradually, so parents need to pay attention to their children's behavior during the day. It doesn't matter if they are frightened every day or have other problems. However, if serious problems still occur, they need to be solved in time. So what is the matter with a 7-year-old child grinding his teeth when sleeping at night?

The baby has symptoms of grinding teeth when sleeping at night, which is generally believed to be related to the following factors:

First, there are parasites in the intestines, especially roundworms, which survive by absorbing nutrients from the human body. When they move around in the human stomach, they not only cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, intestinal obstruction, but also sometimes cause people to grind their teeth at night.

Second, being too tired or too excited during the day, especially when children are too tired from playing, the cerebral cortex does not get a complete rest after falling asleep, and some nerves are still in an excited state, which can also cause teeth grinding after falling asleep.

3. Indigestion: The digestive function of the stomach cannot effectively digest food due to some reasons such as stomach disease, which leads to teeth grinding after sleeping.

4. Disordered occlusion of teeth, etc.

Treat the cause.

1. If you have roundworms or pinworms, you should deworm them in time. It is recommended that children aged 2 to 14 take deworming medicine once a year.

2. The diet should be properly adjusted, with a combination of coarse and fine grains, meat and vegetables, to prevent malnutrition in children. Children should also be taught not to be partial or picky eaters, not to have too much dinner, and not to eat difficult-to-digest food before going to bed, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

3. Children with rickets should be treated with vitamin D and calcium, and should be allowed to take appropriate sunbaths.

4. Parents should create a comfortable, harmonious and happy family environment for their children, eliminate all kinds of negative psychological factors, and cooperate with psychological treatment.

5. If you have bad bite, please ask a dentist for treatment. You can also take sedatives before going to bed to reduce or eliminate the excitability of the nervous system and reduce or prevent the occurrence of nocturnal bruxism.
