What can I do to help my 3 yr old stop grinding her teeth at night? Why does she does this?

She is almost 4 and has ground her teeth nightly as long as she's has teeth as far as I know. It's so loud and she's very gruesome about it. Is this normal? What would cause it? What can I do to help her stop? I'm afraid she'll crack her teeth or hurt herself.

Reply:a mouth piece or a retainer like product might help. dentists have things to help this.
Reply:she's 4...


if she's an adult i would advise her for soft splint/mouth piece


like the ones rugby players wear in their mouth


but ur kid is still to young... i rather afraid she won't be able to tolerate this kind of thing(mouth piece) in her mouth





first see a dentist...


he might then refer u to a pedodontist(paeds dental specialist


) for futher treatment...


good luck
