Teeth Grinding - Pt. 2

Adoiii...!! It's drive me nut to hear Z grinding his teeth! Semenjak lepas surgery, activity dia yang satu ni bertambah mencabar. Dulu dia akan grind bila dia bored or stress teramat jer..now.. ALL THE TIME!! Memang literally ALL THE TIME! Sampai terpercik2 air liur. Berkelicap bunyinya.. Bunyi gigi tu tak payah cakap ler.. Luckily dia dah pandai control his tongue, so takde lah sampai berdarah.. Tapi memang mama sangat tension dengan bunyi dan kebarangkalian bahawa giginya akan musnah tidak lama lagi.

Dulu supplementing him with magnesium seems help a lot. now macam tak berkesan jer. kalau tak bagi magnesium lagi lah melampau-lampau. Bila bagi pun still berbunyi all the time jugak. Tengah malam pun masih berbunyi.. Mama dah urut, mama dah warning, mama dah marah, mama dah letak essential oils, mama dah up kan magnesium.. semua tak jalan. Oh vibrating teether seem help a bit. Tapi jenuh la nak suruh dia gigit jer mende alah vibrator tu..

Mama risau tengok gigi geraham Z dah macam masuk kedalam jer.. Gigi taring dia pun dah semakin senget. Tanya paed, 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do about it. Hopefully he will grew out of it'. No..no no!I can't stand it anymore.. helpppppppppp!!! Mama harap dapat jumpa paed dentist soon.

Mama found out from Autism website, Zinc boleh membantu kurangkan teeth grinding.
hmm..Zinc pulak.. DS forum kata magnesium.. ni lah masalahnya bila ada dua diagnosis.. anyhoo, mama dah order zinc. cepatlah sampai.. Dapat kurangkan sikit macam dulu balik pun jadi lah..
