Why do children grind their teeth and talk in their sleep?

Many babies grind their teeth or talk in their sleep during sleep. In serious cases, they may even smile bitterly. Grinding teeth is actually very harmful to babies. It will cause excessive fatigue of the baby's muscles, and it will also cause the baby's chewing muscles to become larger, which will also have a lot of impact on the face shape. Before helping children with treatment, parents must first find the cause. So what is the reason for children to grind their teeth and talk in their sleep?

First, what is the reason why children grind their teeth and talk in their sleep? There are roundworms in the baby's stomach. Since the roundworms often scratch on the intestinal wall, the intestinal wall is irritated and causes reflex contraction of the chewing muscles, resulting in teeth grinding. At this time, if it is confirmed to be roundworm disease, parents should deworm the baby in time.

Secondly, another reason is that the baby is in the period of tooth replacement. If your baby is in the process of tooth replacement, it may be due to malnutrition, congenital missing teeth, or rickets, etc., the teeth are underdeveloped, and when the upper and lower teeth come into contact, the occlusal surface will be uneven, and bruxism will also occur at this time.

What is the reason why children grind their teeth and talk in their sleep? Babies who often talk in their sleep are often nervous, anxious, and even uneasy, which sometimes affects the baby's sleep. Talking in the sleep is closely and inseparable from the development of the brain's mature psychological functions. Because the baby's brain neural development system is in a state of fatigue and anxiety for a long time, after all, its development is not yet complete. Another reason is that the baby was scolded by his parents during the day, or did strenuous exercise before going to bed, which made the brain that manages the chewing muscles in an excited state. So after falling asleep, he continued to chew. At this time, parents should try not to put pressure on the baby and should create a comfortable family environment for the baby.

Therefore, try not to eat too much at night, or watch some horror TV or movies, etc. If your baby often talks in his sleep, please do not let your baby do strenuous exercise before falling asleep. If your baby plays too excitedly during the day, as parents, we might as well do relaxation exercises before the baby goes to bed, or soak the baby's feet in hot water, and then give the baby a glass of hot milk and tell a few stories before going to bed, which can help the baby calm down quickly and help him sleep.
