Tooth grinding is a funny habit: Some people never do it, some do it for a little while — when their permanent teeth are replacing their baby teeth and the two sets don't fit well together, for instance — and some do it all their lives. Dentists don't really know what turns some people into grinders and leaves others with their pearly whites unscathed. Tooth grinding in adults is usually a stress-related habit, much like nail biting. In toddlers, though, it seems to have more to do with simply getting used to the new physical sensation of having teeth. Toddlers who grind their teeth usually do so during the day and night, says Barbara Rich, national spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry and a dentist in Cherry Hill, N.J. But you may notice nighttime grinding more because your 2-year-old clenches his teeth much harder when he's asleep than he does when he's awake, and thus makes a lot more noise.

Each year three million Americans seek assistance for night-time teeth grinding. Grinding can cause premature wear to tooth surfaces and can result in fractured or loosened teeth. People who grind wake up feeling sleep deprived and often disturb their partners' sleep. Sufferers complain of jaw pain and other problems including head, neck and face pain, tenderness when chewing, migraine headaches, and clicking of the jaw.

When asleep, a tooth-grinder has no conscious control over their habit and is more-or-less oblivious to pain, and this is what makes bruxism a real problem. According to orthodontic experts: while you sleep the biting-force can be six times greater than during waking hours, i.e. six times more likely to cause significant damage
Bruxism can lead to a range of problems such as sore muscles, headaches, ear aches, cosmetic damage as teeth are ground down, sensitive teeth as enamel is worn away, tooth and filling fractures, and even damage to the temporomandibular joint connecting the upper and lower jaw.

ok, the article says that it is normal and that it does not create lasting damage and yet a LOT of parents of children with this probelm have said it does. Hmmmmm, well, my son is at this very moment grinding his teeth. I think I did when I was younger. I may still sometimes because I have terrible dreams about all my teeth falling and shrinks say that may be related to it. Also my husband does sometimes terriblely. So, I guess the question is here then, what do we do for our child? I don't know, but if the traditional medical community doesn't have a good answer, I am going to the "witch
doctors" to find out. I can't sleep when he grinds his teeth!!!!! Marianne Escobedo 02/12/2004
