My son used to do it. I asked the dentist and was told it is normal in kids. He

has stopped doing it but he sucks in his sleep like he did when he was a

breastfeeding baby and toddler.

The truth is, if vaccinations work, then the vaccinated child has nothing to

fear from those not vaccinated.

Some possible causes; nutritional deficiencies, dehydration,

emotional issues?

I've heard many peoples Mothers and Grand Mothers claim that teeth-

grinding is caused by parasites / worms. I never belived it but i

just did a search and sure enough, heaps of referencies to it came up!

I have heard that teeth grinding at night could be an indication of worms so

perhaps see a naturopath for some tinctures/herbs to treat for worms? Just a

suggestion.

All the best,

I know my daughter has emotional issues and she is in therapy, but I

need something to keep her from ruining her teeth now! LOL

I've heard that too and don't doubt it in some cases.

I asked our dentist about it and he said there is nothing they can do.

If they fit them with a bite guard (which is expensive) they will out

grow it in a few months. He said that he's seen kids come in with their

teeth ground all the way down to the gums! He acted like it was no big

deal. I was shocked to say the least. :-(

This is a clue to different people's pictures and helpful to a homeopath

There is not always a 'reason' why that you can figure out, but homeopathic

treatment helps it to go

I tried to figure out my migraines for 15+ years - why did I get them, what

foods, what drinks, what life situations, what this what

that...............in the end one remedy and 2 months cured. Didn't change

anything, didn't have to think about it, didn't do all the things I'd tried

to do to get rid of them.

I would think homeopathy would help. I'm not very clued up in homeopathy, but

have been to one a few times, and this would be something they would take

seriously when treating someone.

In my son's case, the " symptoms " werent' as clear, but taken into account when

treating him. He was sweating in certain area's of his body, that was taken

into account as well as the smell of him, and his fear of LOUD noises - like the

vacumn cleaner....

I have heard success stories with children that bang their heads etc... and I

think grinding teeth would also be helped with homeopathic treatment.

Not only would it be helped, but it is one of many guiding symptoms. The

homeopath wants to know all the strange and peculiar symptoms that you have

and they are what help guide to the right remedy.

that is wonderful. I had friends in the 80's with sons who literally

bounced off the ceilings (twins) when they were young) and it was Feingold

that helped them. But the underlying issue have to be dealt with making

him susceptible, but I'm sure you know that as you are working with

homeopathy too.

While we are on this subject, I need to treat my son for worms. He is waking

up at night itching. How safe is the OTC - PIN-X (pyrantel pamoate)? Has

anyone used wormwood extract (artemisia) with success? Ginger does not seem

to be working and I can't get him to eat garlic.

Hi,

I would like to comment on this as a fellow and long time grinder and gnasher. I

am 32y now and have done it for as long as i can remember!

When i was younger, i remember my mom reprimanding me when my jaw would pop

while eating. She thought this was something i was intentionally doing (for

laughs or attention ?i'll never know!) But believe me if i couldve stopped, I

would have! So first let me commend you for addressing this issue early on.

Because of the grinding I have cracked 6 teeth off at the gumline! I suffered

for years with pain from what they now call TMJ(tempormandible(sp?) jaw

disorder! I have suffered lock jaw on many occassions, as well as migraines, and

severe neck pain! There was a point where i feared it would never end and i

didn't know if that was something i could live with for the next 50+ yrs. Then

about 6 years ago, i mentioned it to my chiropractor(who walks on water in my

eyes today!). My husband and i are both happy to say it has been 5yrs since i

have awakened him from sleep from the popping and cracking! Not once have i

gotten a fork stuck in my mouth from lock jaw and not one migraine!

Most people, including dentists, told me it was stress or tension and to

practice relaxtion which i partially agreed with however, it wasn't the answer!

I don't know for sure if it was just one thing or a combination but for your

son, don't give up on a resolution, it's possible and necessary for him to be

happy and healthy(and keep his teeth!

Subject: almost 4 yr old and teeth grinding?

Hi everyone! I havent been on here in a while due to my computer

crashing...not once but twice :-(

I lost all of my research and emails.

My son (almost 4) is doing well and his speech is catching up very

well! The therapist says she will be releasing him if his progress

continues like this.

The sensory issues are gone. His tantrums have really gone away and

I attribute this to Feingold diet. His trigger is food coloring..I

can tell you within 10 minutes if he has had any.

That diet has been a life saver for us.

Anyway, he is still grinding his teeth while sleeping. His daddy

does this but had a mouth piece made from the dentist. Does anyone

have any idea of why he does this or ideas on how to stop it?

thanks

I wonder then if there's something that may help her relax her jaw

when sleeping - aromatherepy maybe? (Lavender, Camomile possibly?

Other people might know more about this than I do!) Not too strong

though, just a drop or two in an oil burner for a little while as

it's VERY over-powering even to adults if it's too strong and lasts

for ages!!! Or herbal tea, camomile maybe? Just made mildly. I used

to give my son a weak chamomile tea with honey to relax him when he

was about the same age. He liked it, so it can't taste too bad.

I've used a couple of herbal formulars, but if your son wont eat

garlic, I don't think you'll have much success in giving him either

of the ones I've tried. If you could get a herbal treatment made up

in capsule form, they definatly do work!

If you think your son can deal with a liquid formular, Malcom

Harkers formular 825 is very good. He's a New Zealand based herbalist

and his site will come up if you do a search. I'd give you the

url, but this computers to slow for his site.
