Another important way to protect your teeth is with mouthguards. And just like fluoride treatments, dental guards are for both children and adults. Nightguards are an effective way to protect your teeth – and your valuable restoration – from bruxism, otherwise known as clenching and grinding. Most people brux in their sleep, others tend to clench their teeth all the time and never realize they are doing it. Many things can contribute to a tendency to clench and grind such as stress, medications, and a misalignment in your bite. If we notice that your teeth are wearing down or cracked, we may recommend a nightguard or bruxism guard.
We also offer sports guards to save your teeth from injury that can occur during sports activities. Mouthguards help protect against impact that might otherwise cause broken teeth, and injuries to the lips, tongue, face, or jaw. They also may reduce the severity and incidence of concussions. And because they are custom made and remarkably comfortable, they also stay in your child’s mouth and not in their pocket!
