\nA four-year-old grinding her teeth at night is normal. Her permanent teeth are pushing toward the surface, and this grinding action is involunt…ary. It is the process by which the primary (baby) teeth remain in the proper occlusion and eventually wear away to make room for the permanent teeth. There is nothing to be concerned about. Of course, if you have to listen to the grinding all night, it can be very annoying. Not to worry though, she'll probably outgrow this condition by about age 10-12. ;)\n.

\nTRY Google--type in "bruxism". That's the technical term for teeth grinding. Many times it's caused by "reflex chewing activity". Check out info on bruxism. If it continues when she has her permenant teeth, there are mouth guards available (also called bite guards). Many people grind their teeth, sometimes to the point that they wear them down flat! Best to You!

Why does a child 8 years old grind her teeth while sleeping?
Gritting or grinding teeth (the medical term for it is bruxism) is fairly common among young children, affecting three out of every ten. It is seen most often among kids under… age five. No one knows exactly why they develop this tendency, but it could be because their upper and lower teeth aren't properly aligned. Other possible causes are pain - such as an earache or eruption of a tooth - or even stress, perhaps due to frustration or tension at home or some change in routine..
Most kids outgrow this habit when they lose their baby teeth and, fortunately, it usually doesn't hurt their permanent ones. As long as your child doesn't complain of soreness in her jaw or face in the morning, she's unlikely to suffer any ill effects. However, to be sure that the grinding isn't wearing down the enamel on her teeth, it's a good idea to take her to a pediatric dentist, who should be able to figure out whether the grinding is due to misaligned teeth or something else..
If the problem is stress, reassurance may be all that's needed once you know what the trouble is. Getting into a routine of relaxation before bedtime can help, as well- a warm bath, music, or reading a book, for example. If a child's teeth are being damaged by the grinding or when kids complain of pain or soreness in the face or jaw, a dental appliance called a night guard should be considered. Your dentist can tell you whether this is necessary, but very young children generally don't need guards. (If one is recommended, you're probably better off with a guard molded and fitted by the dentist rather than one sold over the counter, which may not fit or work as well as a custom appliance.).
I wouldn't worry too much about this. In all likelihood, your 8 years old child will outgrow the grinding by the time her permanent teeth come in.

What causes teeth grinding while sleeping?
There isn't a single answer to this question as it could be a list of things, such as stress, nightmares, or even mental disorders such as PTSD can be the cause of such. Ca…ffeine intake is also known to be a factor that can cause you to grind your teeth. Try to avoid caffeine before bed, and minimize intake during the day. .
The most common reason is your stress level. People tend to clench their teeth at night when a stressful situation bothers them. Without realizing it, you will just bite so hard that your muscles are hurt. Then when you are asleep, your jaws are moving so hard that the chewing surfaces are damaged. Other reasons for teeth grinding while you are sleeping include: .
New medication or a change in medication .

Why does 3 year old grind teeth while sleeping?
My 5 year old still grinds her teeth and she has for a few years...just when she's sleeping. Our dentist has assured me several times it's completely normal and some kids even… grind their teeth down to the gum line with no discomfort. He also said they usually outgrow it by the time their permanents start to come in. However, if they still are grinding their teeth after that a night guard would be provided. Besides the awful noise they makes...it's no problem.
