The reason why children lose their teeth early is

If you find that your child is losing teeth early, don't be too nervous. If you are really worried, you can take them to the hospital for a detailed physical examination. This will determine whether your child has any abnormal reactions. It usually varies from person to person, unless your child has gastrointestinal diseases, or oral diseases, etc. In this case, timely treatment is needed.

What is the reason for children to lose their teeth early?

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

2. Gastrointestinal diseases and 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. Mental factors such as children being emotionally excited, overly tired or emotionally stressed during the day.

6. Vitamin D deficiency. Children with vitamin D deficiency rickets will suffer from bone decalcification, muscle aches and autonomic nervous system disorders due to calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders in the body. They will often experience excessive sweating, night terrors, irritability and bruxism at night.

7. Misaligned teeth, excessive use of the chewing muscles or chewing on one side for a long time, as well as poor tooth occlusion and temporomandibular joint dysfunction can also cause nocturnal bruxism. Moreover, children with irregular teeth often have abnormal positions of their chewing muscles. When they sleep at night, their chewing muscles often contract unconsciously, causing bruxism.

8. In addition, during the period of tooth replacement for children aged 8-11, it is easy to produce mild bruxism due to itchy gums. Mild bruxism during this period is normal. If it is more serious, it needs treatment. After this stage, it usually disappears on its own.

It can be seen from this that bruxism is basically caused by some kind of disease. Some children have been grinding their teeth for a long time. Although they have received corresponding treatment, the cerebral cortex has formed a strong conditioned reflex. Therefore, the grinding action at night will not disappear immediately, and it is easy to form a habitual bruxism. In particular, although gastrointestinal diseases have improved, gastrointestinal dysfunction still exists. Therefore, the grinding action cannot be corrected in a short period of time, and a longer period of treatment must be persisted to achieve improvement.
