Bad Teeth

[rileys mum]

Hello,, new to this site, I have a 5 year old son, he was diagnosed with ASD when he was 3, he really is a special little guy. He suffers terrribly with anxiety and has ground down his front teeth to small stumps. (we are currently on a never ending NHS list for treatment) any hope for his "big teeth" when they come, or tips on how to prevent/restrict the grinding ?

I have read that zinc helps with teeth grinding. Not sure what the dosage should be though.

My son has shows many signs of Autism and he grinds his teeth also. Explain to me what you mean by NHS, please.
