What to do if your one-year-old baby is grinding his teeth

It is normal for babies to grind their teeth. In some cases, it may indicate some problems. However, for a one-year-old baby, the teeth have not yet grown fully. It may be because of the teeth growth, and there will be more problems. So you should pay more attention to the child's physical health. The physical health of your child is the most important thing. Protect your child's physical health well.

Teeth grinding may be caused by roundworms in the stomach. I have heard from doctors that you can buy SmithKline Worm Clear for him to take. My son has taken it before. This kind of medicine has no side effects. Even if there are no worms, taking it once is good for the baby.

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 nervous 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. Cute and innocent little baby

Some children have been grinding their teeth for a long time. Even if they have received corresponding treatment, the bruxism at night will not disappear immediately because a strong conditioned reflex has been formed in the cerebral cortex. In particular, although gastrointestinal diseases have improved, gastrointestinal dysfunction still exists. Therefore, the bruxism action cannot be corrected in a short period of time, and a long period of treatment must be persisted to achieve improvement.

His teeth are about to grow and his gums are itchy, so let him chew more hard foods such as biscuits. It is generally said that only people who sleep at night have insects, but this is not absolutely true. However, babies under one year old are generally not dewormed. They can be dewormed once before two years old.

The above is the problem about teeth grinding in one-year-old babies. I hope it will be helpful to parents. In many cases, what we need to do is to pay attention to the health of the child and take the child to the hospital for regular check-ups. This is very good. For babies, this method is also very good. It can detect the child’s problems in time and pay attention to the child’s health as early as possible.
