Causes of Your Child's Teeth Grinding and How to Prevent it

Teeth grinding can lead to worn teeth and gum inflammation, with children’s newly forming adult teeth especially at risk. Also known as bruxism, you should consult a dentist if you think this is affecting your child. A morning headache is often the first symptom.

Key takeaways:

– A major cause of teeth grinding is stress, so managing any stress your child is experiencing is essential.

– A misaligned bite can be painful and your child’s teeth grinding may be a reaction to this pain.

– A dentist can help get to the underlying cause of your child’s bruxism, vital in working out a solution.

“Your dentist can create a custom mouthguard for your child so that his or her teeth will be protected while you’re seeking treatment.”
