Asking for Other, Female, 4.5 years old, Lahore
Hi, my daughter is 4 and half, on 12th September she had an accident with a bike, had injury on head ( swelled a lot) and foot and scratched on other body parts. till then while sleeping she grinds her teeth so badly that i feel they will get broken. Please suggest some dr
She must be upset after the incident. Give her time to feel relaxed or consult some child psychologist. In adults , we recommend night guards but at the age of 4 it looks difficult for the patient to wear before sleeping. Regards
Please visit us or any paediatric dentist close to you for a check up of your child. Though you don’t have to over worry about it. It’s nothing serious . For the mean time remind the child not to grind . During the day avoid all kinds of screen time . Physical activities , health diet .And good peaceful environment at home might help
Kindly visit a Peds dentist just to eliminate any injury of her jaws that remained undiagnosed. secondly she just had a trauma she might be in stress, third grinding in milk teeth is mostly because as teeth are erupting they have no proper contacts established its perfectly normal but best is ti have a visit to your dentist.
kindly get her checked in a proper head and neck department
get her assessed by a dental surgeon.
Teeth grinding is mostly due to stress. She needs to relax. Get her checked by a psychologist. Counselling may help.
neurological examination is needed.See a neurologist as soon as possible.If everything thing is fine neurologically, see a psychologist it might be due to post traumatic disorder, fear , shock etc
do consultation with dentist and get her proper checkup
Dear plz do an Opg full mouth x-ray and get it examined by experienced Dental surgeon. He will decide to hv a night gaurd mouth night gaurd if needed she will be fine .IA.
please visit a maxillofacial surgeon as soon as possible.
Get checked with dentist for complete check up and treatment
Dear concerned grinding /clenching of teeth in kids can b very normal to very serious concern.
in order to rule out the possible causes detailed history and physical examination would b mandatory
if possible let her parents know to have online consultation done to rule out the possibilities and come up to final conclusion.
in the mean while keep child distracted avoid discussing same event in front of her . Soothing/comforting lullabies can keep her calm at night
