What to do if my child grinds his teeth?<\/p>\n
Although bruxism, the instinctive clenching or grinding of the teeth by rubbing the upper and lower dental arches together, is a pathology normally associated with adults and stress, it can also occur in children. \ud83d\ude2c
\nNo matter how old you are, rubbing can cause wear and tear on your teeth. \ud83e\uddb7
\nIf you notice that your child is only clenching his teeth during sleep, don't panic: his jaw is still developing and the muscles are still working. \ud83d\udcaa
\nHowever, if it does not go away after the age of 10 or if you detect symptoms such as headaches, earaches or tooth wear (even if they are baby teeth), see a professional. A mouthguard may be enough.<\/p>\n
Or better, look for a place like Ziving where we like to do a complete follow-up of our patients' development. \ud83d\udc68\u2695\ufe0f<\/p>\n
