grind his teeth

Teeth grinding is actually quite common in kids, and is medically called Bruxism. In this condition, kids either grind their teeth or clench their jaw when they’re asleep, especially during deep sleep phases or if they are under stress. Even though these are possibilities, there isn’t a specific reason for why kids grind their teeth. It could be because their teeth are not properly aligned. Or, they are reacting to some kind of pain in their body, or they are stressed, angry or tensed. In most cases, there are no side effects to Bruxism. However, in some cases kids do experience headaches, pain in jaw, and increased tooth sensitivity as they tend to grind down their enamel. While most kids outgrow bruxism, some who do not, can be helped with a warm bath before bedtime, and by making sure they are not stressed before they hit the bed.
