POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Your 4-year-old making a grinding sound while sleeping is likely due to bruxism (teeth grinding). This is common in young children and usually goes away on its own.
Possible Causes of Teeth Grinding in Kids: Teething or Misaligned Teeth – Discomfort can cause grinding. Stress or Anxiety – Changes in routine, new school, or excitement. Hyperactive Behavior – Active kids may grind their teeth more. Blocked Nose or Breathing Issues – If your child has a cold, allergies, or enlarged tonsils, grinding can increase. Worm Infestation – Sometimes linked to digestive issues or worms. What You Can Do:
✔ Check Stress Levels – Ensure your child feels relaxed before bed.
✔ Avoid Caffeine/Sugary Snacks – These can increase restlessness.
✔ Proper Oral Care – Brush teeth properly, and visit a dentist if needed.
✔ Check for Nasal Blockage – If your child snores or has a blocked nose, consult a doctor.
✔ Deworming (if needed) – If grinding is continuous, ask your pediatrician about a deworming course.
Usually, kids outgrow bruxism, but if the grinding is too loud or frequent, you may want to consult a pediatric dentist.
