My child is nine years old this year. He always grinds his teeth while dancing when he sleeps. What happened?

Some researchers made a comparative study on 80 pairs of patients with molars and those without bruxism, and tested each person's personality. The results show that introversion and depression, especially emotional instability and tension, are important factors of bruxism.

In other words, bruxism patients are more pessimistic than non-bruxism patients.

Many scholars have found that in the pathogenesis of bruxism, oral diseases are not important, and psychological factors occupy the primary position.

Psychologically speaking, grinding teeth represents a psychological state, a sense of frustration and anxiety. Psychological stress belongs to the subconscious, especially when angry, anxious, resentful, pessimistic and abused. When people escape the psychological pressure of the subconscious, they grind their teeth in their dreams or sleep.

Adults who grind their teeth occasionally have little effect on their health, so they should pay attention to rest and adjust their mentality.

But grinding your teeth for a long time, or grinding your teeth for too long after each sleep, will lead to psychological and physical obstacles. Adults with bruxism should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Whether there is psychological disorder should be considered after grinding teeth caused by physiological diseases is ruled out.

If you have psychological disorders, you should adjust yourself or seek treatment from a psychologist.

Practice has proved that it is a "good medicine" to treat bruxism by getting rid of psychological pressure and stabilizing emotions in various ways.

In addition to using various methods to get rid of psychological pressure and stabilize emotions, you can also apply the following simple methods:

① Wash the orange peel, soak it in white sugar water for 5 days, and eat 1 orange peel every night before going to bed for 3 ~ 4 days, which will be effective;

2 eat a piece of raw orange peel about 5 cm square before going to bed every night and take it with brown sugar water for 2 ~ 3 days;

③ Taking 50 grams of reed root with boiling water every day can effectively relieve adult bruxism.

4 dried tangerine peel (sold in pharmacies 1 yuan. Try it first). Drink hot water during the day. Chew tangerine peel in a cup for 3 months at night and see if it works.
