What is the reason for children grinding their teeth at night?

The phenomenon of children grinding their teeth at night is actually a very common phenomenon. However, because it is too common, most parents think that this phenomenon will automatically disappear as the children grow up. But in fact, it will not. We want to talk to you about the issue of teeth grinding. Then everyone knows why children grind their teeth at night?

There are many causes of teeth grinding. If children play without restraint during the day, their normal life routine will be disrupted and their sleep will be affected, and they will grind their teeth involuntarily. Scolded by parents or caregivers during the day, children become nervous and overly fatigued, causing the part of the brain that manages the chewing muscles to become excited, resulting in constant chewing movements. If children can combine work and rest and be in a good spirit, these teeth grinding habits will gradually improve.

Intestinal parasites are roundworms in the stomach. Ascaris parasitizes in children's small intestine, not only robbing nutrients but also irritating the intestinal wall, secreting toxins and causing indigestion. If a child often has a dull pain in his stomach, it will cause insomnia, irritability and nighttime teeth grinding. Pinworms can also cause teeth grinding. Pinworms usually live in the human large intestine. After the child falls asleep, the pinworms will quietly crawl to the anus to lay eggs, causing anal itching, making the child sleep uneasily and causing teeth grinding. Coping strategy: Deworm your child. Develop good hygiene habits in daily life.

Now that we know the reasons why children grind their teeth at night, we should know that we can no longer ignore the phenomenon of children grinding their teeth. Because children really grind their teeth because they lack certain things or certain substances in their bodies, so we must pay attention to it.
