Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi Listmates! I just want to ask if anyone has had trouble with their ASD child grinding their teeth? My 6 year old son used to grind his teeth before falling asleep and it bothered me already that I got him a mouthguard hoping he'll actually wear it. Obviously, he didn't. His teeth look like stumps on his gums. Lately though, he has been grinding his teeth also in the daytime, specially at mealtimes, when he needs to chew food. He has a problem with chewing eversince, but this is being managed by his OT and he seems to be getting the hang of it. The teeth grinding is really bothersome. He hasn't had any permanent teeth out yet. Thank God! I hope someone can give me ideas.. Thanks! Mom to Greggy, 6 yrs old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
