What can i do to stop my three year old from grinding her teeth at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually stress relat: Teeth grinding is usually related to stress or apprehension. In a three year old it could be related to a number of things. The child has to stop on their own although they are not cognizant they are doing it at night. . Dentists can make a night guard to prevent damage to the teeth but the ultimate fix is to try and discover why the child is grinding. They could also just grow out of it.

Can children wear night guards? Our seven year old son grinds his teeth at night, and i've worn a night guard for bruxism for many years as an adult. Do they have the same things for kids, and if so, do they have to always get new ones due to growth?
