Hi, my child is grunding tooth during sleep. No anxiety, nothing stress although regularly. Pls advice.
Habit breaking appliance should be worn (Night guard) this protects teeth. On grinding teeth, child may develop sensitivity, pain.. In worse case mobility of tooth or fracture. Night guard is soft flexible coverage to your teeth, prevents damage to opposing teeth
Next Steps
