How do you stop a child from grinding her teeth all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Problem: Grinding at night between ages 3-6 not a problem as usually disappears spontaneously. Grinding during day is a problem, and may be symptomatic of tension, adhd, ocdc, high sugar diet, or neurologic disorder. Have child checked by both dentist and pediatrician.
