Dr. Zhang Liwen
Teeth grinding during sleep is generally caused by gastrointestinal disorders, nutritional imbalances, emotional factors, and other reasons. It may also be due to damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, in which case patients should actively take medications such as Niuhuang Qingwei Pills orally to alleviate discomfort symptoms. Patients should avoid beverages and stimulating foods as much as possible, consume more foods rich in vitamins, reduce stress, and maintain a relaxed mood.
