Teeth Grinding

At Kids Care Dental Group & Orthoodntics, we recognize how crucial your child’s oral health is to their overall happiness and wellbeing. Our skilled pediatric dentists are committed to helping children who grind their teeth at night, offering tailored solutions that protect their smiles, promote restful sleep, and support better quality of life.

Bruxism—commonly known as teeth grinding—is a frequent concern among children, especially during sleep. It can be triggered by stress, misaligned teeth, hyperactivity, discomfort, or even certain medications and health conditions. If your child makes grinding noises while sleeping, complains of jaw pain or headaches, or has increased tooth sensitivity, it may be time for a professional evaluation from our caring team.

When you visit our Escondido pediatric dental team, we’ll perform a thorough examination and have a thoughtful discussion about lifestyle habits to find the best approach for your child. Consistent dental check-ups every six months are essential for detecting and managing bruxism early and effectively.

One of our primary recommendations for treating bruxism is a custom-made night guard, which helps prevent grinding and defends your child’s teeth from further damage. We also provide practical tips on relaxation techniques and stress relief to help your child wind down before bedtime.

With Kidz Care Dental Group & Orthodontics, you can be confident your child is receiving gentle, expert guidance to overcome teeth grinding and maintain a healthy, happy smile. Schedule an appointment today and take the next step toward safeguarding your child’s dental health and comfort.
