Reasons for August baby grinding teeth

For young people who have just become parents, some strange problems of the baby are very annoying. The baby's physical condition needs to be taken seriously. Because the child's body is still growing and developing, if there are some signs of illness, you should go to the hospital in time to receive relevant treatment. Next, we will introduce in detail the reasons why babies grind their teeth in August.

1. Excessive mental excitement and tension

Playing too much before going to bed, being too excited or tired, being frightened, restless and anxious, or being stressed out during studies can cause the excitation and inhibition processes of the cerebral cortex to become unbalanced, inducing temporary irregular spasms or contractions of the chewing muscles, resulting in nocturnal bruxism.

2. Intestinal parasites

Ascaris likes to move around in the intestines after the child falls asleep and secrete a variety of toxins. Toxins stimulate the intestines, speed up intestinal peristalsis, cause indigestion, pain around the navel, and restless sleep; if toxins stimulate the nerves, causing nerve excitement, it can lead to teeth grinding. Pinworms also secrete toxins and cause anal itching, affecting children's sleep and causing teeth grinding sounds.

3. Digestive dysfunction

For example, if you eat too much before going to bed, a large amount of food fills the stomach and intestines and stimulates the digestive tract. The nerves transmit these stimuli to the brain, making the brain cells that manage digestion excited, and through reflex action, causing teeth grinding.

4. Unbalanced nutrition

Some children are picky eaters, especially those who don't like to eat vegetables, which leads to nutritional imbalance and deficiency of calcium, phosphorus, various vitamins and trace elements, causing involuntary contraction of the facial chewing muscles at night, and the teeth grind back and forth.

The above content is an introduction to the reasons why babies grind their teeth in August. Generally speaking, it is very common for babies to have symptoms of teeth grinding, but the causes of this situation are different, so we should treat them differently. If the diagnosis cannot be made, we need to receive formal treatment and examination to avoid more serious diseases.
