What Do I Do If My Kid is Grinding Their Teeth?

If you’ve ever checked on your child in the night only to hear a grating noise coming from the direction of their pillow, you might know what teeth-grinding (clinically called bruxism) sounds like. We talked to Dr. Carly Gordon to learn more.

Here’s what she had to say:

"Bruxism is common in children, however, most kids do outgrow it and don’t experience long-term issues. Of real importance is to determine the cause of the grinding and rule out more detrimental underlying issues. While grinding can damage the baby teeth—and this may be viewed as not an issue, since they will fall out—proper jaw development is very important when it comes to our airways. If underlying variables are not addressed in childhood, they can continue into adulthood.”
