How to Stop Teeth Grinding in Children

Teeth grinding in children, also known as bruxism, is quite common and often happens during sleep, with many kids outgrowing it naturally by around age 6 to 10, but there are ways to help manage it if it becomes frequent or severe. Common causes include stress or anxiety, misaligned teeth, teething discomfort, sleep issues, or habits like nail biting, so identifying the trigger is an important first step. To help stop teeth grinding, parents can encourage a calm bedtime routine, reduce stress through relaxation techniques, and ensure good sleep habits, while also limiting stimulants like screen time before bed. If grinding continues or causes symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, a dentist may recommend a custom night guard to protect the teeth and reduce pressure. In most cases, monitoring the behaviour and addressing underlying causes is enough, but professional advice is recommended if the grinding persists or worsens over time.
