Common questions
What parents ask about teeth grinding
Is teeth grinding common in children?
Yes. Many children grind at some point and grow out of it, but tooth wear, pain, or sleep concerns should be evaluated.
Does every child who grinds need a mouthguard?
No. Dr. Tiana checks the teeth, bite, age, symptoms, and growth before recommending monitoring or a custom guard.
