Guest guest Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 If you would like to try it your OT can explain in detail, but you can find a fairly good overview here http://www.ot-innovations.com/content/view/55/46/ Funny little secret - the " therapeutic brush " is the same brush you use on babies to get rid of cradle cap with the sponge part removed.

Thanks, Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry Xpost: Severe teeth grinding  Have any of you had experience with severe diurnal (not nocturnal) teeth grinding with your kids? My child is 22 yo and has been checked out thoroughly by the dentist...no wisdom teeth erupting or apparent pain, ear infection recently treated......can't really find a medical or physical cause. There is extreme stress in our house now with alot of illness; she's being treated for recurrent iron deficiency anemia...getting iron IVs once a week for 8 weeks. She's had them before and we've not had the teeth grinding issue. I found this online...a behavioral treatment involving a physical cue. Anyone ever tried anything like this before? Did it work? Did it take forever? She's very stressed I know but unable to process directions for relaxation techniques and such. She has Down Syndrome as well as Autism. She wants to spend the day on her swing going back and forth...I imagine it's soothing. Any input appreciated. http://www.centerforautism.com/News_and_Events/CARD-BRUXISM-STUDY-PUBLISHED-IN-C\ URRENT-ISSUE-JABA-2009.pdf Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
