why my 5 yrs boy grind his teeth during his sleep making squeking sound several times a night.?
Question:
Answers:
I can not state emphatically enough that you should never, ever consider getting (or making) an appliance to stop tooth grinding in a five year old. This would stop proper growth and development of the jaw where the appliance is worn.
It is my opinion that baby teeth are designed to be worn away as the jaws grow and develop. This allows for different growth rates and it allows for the accommodation of the permanent teeth with their much more pronounced cusp forms when they start to come in.
You may wish to ask your dentist to check for underlying problems, but 99% of the time - if not more - this is just part of being a five year old.
He must have a fever,,, or the chills they usually do this with their teeth... you should wake your a**s up and go check on the boy.
