FAQ

Can teeth grinding in children affect the alignment of teeth?

Unlike adults, teeth grinding in children is mostly temporary. As the baby teeth are replaced by permanent teeth, the muscles are unable to adapt to the complex changes in the state of the mouth, and it often occurs as a result of stress. However, excessive teeth grinding can worsen blood circulation, cause periodontal disease, and put strain on the jaw joints. If you are concerned, please feel free to consult a Tokushinkai Group dental clinic.
