Teeth grinding during sleep

2020-11-24 02:16:53
Hi Doc.. This is in regards to teeth grinding of kids that happens when in sleep. Do we have any medic or process that can resolve this concern of 4yr old kid.. Earlier, doctor informed that it could be due to worms so he had few shots of deworming medic which helped for 1-2days but later again he resumed his grinding action...so best solutions appreciated by experienced doctors

If associated with GI symptoms, weight loss with stool examination report suggesting worm infestation may be a cause but commonly teeth grinding is seen without any specific reason, it may be regarded as normal behaviour in most children

Sometimes grinding is associated with worms or seizures too. Consult online
