Sleep isn’t just about rest—it’s vital for your child’s oral development. From tooth eruption to jaw growth, sleep plays a crucial role in ensuring healthy teeth and gums.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Often linked to sleep disturbances, bruxism can lead to worn-down teeth and jaw discomfort.
Dry Mouth: Inadequate sleep can reduce saliva production, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Delayed Tooth Eruption: Chronic sleep deprivation may affect the timing of tooth eruption in children.
Increased Risk of Cavities: Poor sleep habits can lead to increased snacking and sugary drink consumption, contributing to tooth decay.
Establish a Consistent Bedtime Routine: A regular sleep schedule supports overall health.
Limit Sugary Snacks Before Bed: Avoiding sugary foods and drinks can reduce the risk of cavities.
Create a Relaxing Sleep Environment: A calm and quiet room promotes better sleep quality.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Routine visits to the dentist can help monitor and address any sleep-related oral health issues.
