Some parents believe that tapeworms are the culprit behind teeth grinding, but the mechanism of this phenomenon is simply unknown. Doctors say that teeth grinding has anatomical and psychological causes.
Psychologically, teeth grinding, scientifically known as bruxism, is caused by anxiety and stress. In this case, children grind teeth while sleeping after a stressful event or hyperactive day. Anatomically, the child’s teeth may not be aligned properly and she/he should see a dentist to avoid dental problems later in life.
