Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011  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-CURRENT-ISSUE-JABA-2009.pdf Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 If your bite is off it can cause teeth grinding even in your sleep. I have had three dentist work on my teeth and the third is the charm. This may not apply to your child/adult but, you may want to rule it out.To: sList Sent: Thu, May 19, 2011 4:19:17 PMSubject: Severe bruxism daytime  Have any of you had experience with severe diurnal (not nocturnal) teeth grinding with your kids?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Parasites can cause bruxism. The homeopathic Cina 30C is helpful or you can contact Dr. LeGunn and he has a very good herbal remedy that kills the eggs as well because that's a big issue. 561 350-9967 Dr. LeGunn is located off of Sample Rd.
