What is the reason for eight-month-old baby grinding teeth

Teeth grinding is a very normal thing in life. Even children of different ages will have the same problem. Sometimes teeth grinding is only a temporary phenomenon, but sometimes teeth grinding is a harbinger of some diseases. Therefore, we must correctly understand this problem and actively receive treatment. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the reasons why eight-month-old babies grind their teeth.

1. Intestinal parasitic diseases, especially intestinal ascariasis, are quite common in children;

2. Gastrointestinal diseases, oral diseases;

3. Giving children indigestible food before going to bed may stimulate the corresponding part of the brain after the baby falls asleep, causing the chewing muscles to continue to contract through the nerves;

4. Nervous system diseases, such as psychomotor epilepsy, hysteria, etc.;

5. Children are emotionally agitated, overly tired or nervous during the day.

6. Calcium deficiency causes nighttime bruxism, which is due to the poor self-control ability of the cortical center.

It can be seen that teeth grinding is basically caused by some diseases. Some children grind their teeth for a long time. Although they have received corresponding treatment, the cerebral cortex has formed a strong conditioned reflex, so the teeth grinding action at night will not disappear immediately. In particular, although gastrointestinal diseases have improved, gastrointestinal dysfunction still exists, so the teeth grinding action cannot be corrected in a short time, and a long period of treatment must be persisted to improve.

The above content is an introduction to the reasons. Because the baby's physical condition is relatively complicated, we don't need to be too nervous in most cases. Parents can judge the reasons for their children's teeth grinding based on their daytime activities. If it is due to lack of nutrition, it must be supplemented in time.
