dd4 grinding teeth in sleep

[fificasey1]

my dd 4 is grinding her teeth in her sleep some people tell me this is a sign of worms but i don't think it is as i was told that her appetite would increase if is was and she isn't eating anymore than normal has anyone experianced this and what should i do is it something to worry about

My father has been grinding his teeth all his life, started almost as soon as he had teeth...he's now 77 years old, still has some of his teeth (mainly just the front ones, as never been to a dentist in his life)& as far as I'm aware, has never suffered with worms! My daughter (7) also grinds her teeth & she's never had worms either!!!!!
Hope this helps. Sounds like a very old wives tale to me x
