Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding, known medically as bruxism, while asleep can be a symptom of a threadworm infection. Grinding the teeth together can make a noisy crunching sound, cause pain in the jaw and result in the teeth wearing unevenly.
Research suggests that teeth grinding is fairly common in people who have pinworm infections. It's been suggested that because the vagus nerve closely connects the brain and gut, the toxic intruders could trigger the brain to make people grind their teeth.4Evergreen Dental. ‘Kids Grinding Teeth In Sleep – Could The Cause Be Parasites?’ Evergreen Dental, 19 Oct. 2018, www.evergreendental.com.au/kids-grinding-teeth-in-sleep
