Teeth grinding or clenching is common in children. Often, parents hear their young ones grind their teeth while sleeping and become worried.

Experts have concluded that bruxism in children is rarely associated with dental, mastication or joint problems.

Bruxism in children is a limited phenomenon, which passes once they grow up and involves no treatment problems.

Parents only have to be careful if the child accuses mastication problems or complains about frequent headaches. In this case, a specialized consultation is recommended, to identify whether or not there are any problems.
