Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Hi, My son has been grinding his teeth for the last 7-8 months. We have tryed B5 (pantothenic acid) and magnesium, with no luck, it appears that the problem is even worse now!! Does anyone have any other ideas that might help rid this problem, I can't bear to see him destroy what remains of his teeth, he is 3 1/2. Thanks for any imput, Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 In the prescription for nutritional healing they quote the following; " Deficiencies of calcium and magnesium have been linked to tooth grinding " They also suggest pantothenic acid to reduce stress. I hope this helps. . [ ] teeth grinding This s a real problem for my son too...I keep hoping that he'll get in a an entire third set!! He has gotten in a few third teeth!!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Dave at Kirkmans once posted that Manganese deficiency can cause teeth grinding. We started supplementing my son with it and he has totally stopped grinding his teeth. Good luck. Jo (South Carolina) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Both Manganese deficiency and Vitamin B5 deficiency can cause teeth grinding.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Hi Jon If you don't mind, what is the name and author of the book ? . [ ] Teeth Grinding All, I'm posting this because the subject came up a few times lately. Teeth grinding (aka Bruxism) often caried out in sleep is mentioned in a book I have just flicked through, it suggests calcium pantothenate 100mg and calcium 300mg daily. I expect that this is for adults. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 , Sorry it just says plain old calcium 300 mg, nothing too exciting, pantothenate is a bit more interesting though, generally accepted as B5 and has a role in Coenzyme A, helps forming antibodies and deficiency is associated with psychosis, is normally produced by intestinal bacteria (well some of it anyway). I'm quoting from a book,( " Thornson's Complete guide to Vitamins and Minerals " by Leonard Mervyn Ph.D, B.Sc.) I'm not really that clued up on pantothenate, the trouble is though that you can look at most things and they may seem equally wonderful. Magnesium makes a bit more sense to me, but if this works then don't knock it, perhaps teeth grinding is a desperate attempt to free up stored calcium. Jon.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 , As per my other post " Thornsons Complete Guide to Vitamins and Minerals " by Leonard Mervyn B.Sc., Ph.D. (ISBN 0 7225 3977 0 ) It is a shame that it does not have any references included.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 Dinesh, My son is thirteen and recovered as a result of Dr. Goldberg's treatment. My son also used to grind his teeth, exhibit almost drunk like behavior, bite, and squeeze people's arms. When you help his body and his language develops all that goes away very gradually. After his body becomes more normal, it is much easier to teach what is acceptable behavior and what is not. It was not possible to do this before Dr. G. Too much Super Nu Thera can also cause problems, although many years ago before Dr. G we took it also. More Super Nu Thera is not necessarily better. We also used to do Nystatin. But it is not as strong to fight yeast as the medications Dr. Goldberg uses. Our children have a severe medical condition and that requires strong interventions. If your appointment is a long time off, make sure you get all your paperwork in and ask Laurie in the office to put you on the waiting list. There is almost always a cancellation. My sister-in-law got in three months earlier with this method. Be sure to copy all of your paperwork before you send it in. Dr. G's office takes care of so many kids that sometimes paperwork needs to be sent again if it an especially busy time. Email me privately if you need more information.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 See a chiropractor. Teeth grinding is also a common symptom of TMJ, or simple neck misalignment. My dd has always ground her teeth in her sleep when she is under any stress. ie: learning numbers, learning to stack blocks, drawing a new dress design, talking to great grandmom, park district class. Eliminating all grains also seems to have helped it a lot. It kind of disappearred while I wasn't listening...
