for adult, it may be stress or other issues or heatiness as some old people may say. best is to see a dentist or doctor.

As for my kids, I believe it's due to heatiness or stomoch not well. Through my experience, once I heard they grinds teeth, and they get sick day after.

My bro is a dentist, he said it is normal for kids to grind their teeth up till the age of 8.

Hi


My 6-year old grinds her teeth everynight during her sleep. Checked the internet and it says they may outgrow this habit as they get older.

Can anyone whose child have been through this share with me if your child outgrew it without treatment?

Hi All,

Most children do grow out of the habit, but others do not. Grinding teeth or clenching teeth can be painful! If your child continues to grind his or her teeth at the age of 12 and up, then you should look into getting a night guard (One-Size Fits All) -- which will protect their teeth/jaw.

I just purchased my 15 year old a night guard from TotalGard .. a custom night guard sounded to intrusive and expensive.
