Many people are afflicted with bruxism, or teeth grinding. Some people may do this consciously during the day, but it can be a larger problem at night while sleeping. Grinding your teeth can damage enamel, wear down teeth, cause jaw pain, or irritate gums. The noise from teeth grinding can also disturb others around you.
If you grind your teeth, consider a night guard. The night guard, which is very similar to a mouth guard worn by athletes, provides a barrier between your top and bottom teeth while you sleep. All night guards are custom fitted for comfort and to allow for proper breathing. We will take an impression of your teeth and have the night guard created by a dental lab. Night guards are very durable and can be used for up to 10 years.
