Teeth grinding in children

By admin

Teeth grinding in children is a nightmare for every parent. The medical term for this habit is bruxism. Approximately 3 out of every 10 children grind their teeth, in sleep or awake. It usually happens when the child is under stress or in pain. Another reason for this habit is that the top and bottom teeth are not properly oriented. It is better to book an appointment with your family dentist if your child suffers from bruxism.
