Teeth Grinding in Children

teeth, health, smile,dentist, oralhealth, dentalhealthTeeth grinding is a habit that can harm teeth and gums and even lead to tooth loss and can be particularly harmful for children as the teeth are still forming. A morning headache is often the first symptom. Talk to your dentist about treatment to help protect your child’s teeth.

Depending on the cause, the dentist has several treatment options available:

– A mouthguard to be worn at night

– Possible fitting of braces

– Possible referral to a paediatrician or psychiatrist

Bruxism “is damaging for people of any age” and should never be simply ignored. This is particularly true for young children and you can find out more at  https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/how-to-prevent-and-treat-your-childs-teeth-grinding/
