How to treat children's teeth grinding when sleeping?

Children love to eat sweets. They eat a lot of sweets since infancy, which can damage their teeth. Many children's teeth are not good-looking and they have cavities. Therefore, it is extremely bad for their teeth and mouth. Children should control sugary foods from an early age. At the same time, they should also observe diseases that can affect the development of teeth, such as bruxism. When children grind their teeth, it will stimulate the mouth and chew for a long time, which will increase the harm. So how to treat children's sleep bruxism?

1. Be careful not to let children get too tired or excited during the day. Guide them to play happily and relaxedly. Parents should try not to put pressure on children and create a comfortable family environment for them. Before your child goes to bed, avoid over-excitement and don't watch overly intense or scary TV. Reading or talking to the child before bedtime can help release the fear or anger he or she has experienced during the day, and providing more spiritual and emotional support, which is very helpful in correcting the child's nocturnal bruxism. If you are overly nervous and emotionally unstable, you should pay attention to eliminating the nervousness and use small doses of sedatives when necessary.

2. The stool should be tested for parasite eggs so that anthelmintic treatment can be carried out. The solution is to deworm your children every autumn. Children under two years of age should not be treated for deworming. Even if some children's stool tests show no worm eggs, it cannot be confirmed that they do not have worms. If they have never received worm treatment within six months, they can also be given worm treatment.

Some people still grind their teeth after deworming treatment, which may be due to incomplete deworming. Deworming can be repeated after a few months.

3. For stubborn cases, a jaw pad should be made and worn while sleeping to prevent direct wear of teeth.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is very effective and can be treated with Xuanfeng Decoction. Its composition: 15 grams each of betel nut and tangerine peel, 30 grams of black morning glory seeds (fried, only the powder is taken), and 15 grams of roasted licorice. Grind them into fine powder, take 2-3 grams each time, and mix with honey water. Take on an empty stomach. It's worth a try.

5. Dietary therapy: Eat a piece of raw orange peel before going to bed every night for 2-3 days to cure teeth grinding in children and adults.

In addition, pay attention to adjusting your child's daily diet, eat some easily digestible, nutritious foods, and don't eat too much. If you have tooth occlusion disorders, chronic periodontitis, etc., you should go to the dental department for examination and treatment. For stubborn bruxism in children, if necessary, take the child to the hospital for trace element testing and supplement the corresponding nutrients based on the test. If there are no conditions, you might as well let your child take 21 Gold Vita for two weeks, which may work.

During the period of tooth replacement for children with poor tooth development, if they are congenitally missing some teeth due to malnutrition, the occlusal surfaces of the upper and lower teeth will be uneven when they come into contact, which is also the cause of bruxism. At this time, the dentist will check whether there is any malocclusion of the teeth. If so, the high points of the teeth need to be ground down and a dental pad should be prepared. Wearing it at night can reduce teeth grinding. At the same time, appropriate drug treatment should be carried out for malnutrition and rickets.
