Bruxism, or grinding of teeth, is remarkably common among children and adults.\u00a0 For some children, tooth grinding occurs only during the daytime, but nighttime grinding (during sleep) is more common.\u00a0 It depends on the frequency of the behavior, the intensity of the grinding, as well as the underlying causes of the grinding, whether bruxism can lead to a wide range of dental problems.<\/span><\/p>

Generally, parents can hear intense grinding, especially during the night.\u00a0 However, subtle jaw clenching and grinding during the day can be difficult to detect.\u00a0 A child’s general symptoms can often give insight into whether he or she is bruxing, including:<\/span><\/p>
