Grinding teeth while sleeping

Question

Asked for Female, 3 Years

My son is 3 years 1 month old. Previously my son used to grind his teeth while sleeping and when we consulted doctor regarding this issue he told to give one dose of bendex syrup. After giving bendex he is fine for 2 months and now again he started grinding his teeth while sleeping. Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem and also the reasons for this. Also please tell on what intervals should we use bendex for kids of 3 years old.
