8Chewing Non-Food Objects
When people are under stress, they tend to chew a few non-food items such as pencils or pens to relieve. However, these activities would result in tension in the jaw and trigger bruxism. This is one of the most common causes of teeth grinding, especially in children. To prevent this issue, try some home remedies such as chewing gum whenever you want to chew on non-food objects. This will allow the jaw muscles to get accustomed to clenching and gradually wean yourself off these things. [8]
