Should I Wear A Night Guard?

Night guards are used to protect teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep. This is especially important if you suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding, as it can cause pain and damage to your teeth if left untreated.

The most important thing to consider when wearing a night guard is the fit. If your night guard is too tight, it can be uncomfortable and cause pain or discomfort while you sleep. It should also be made from a material that won't irritate your gums or teeth. Having an ill-fitting night guard can make grinding worse, instead of better.

It is important to talk to your dentist about whether or not a night guard is right for you. If you are diagnosed with bruxism, a night guard can be an effective treatment option and can help protect your teeth from damage. A custom-fitted night guard made by your dentist will provide the most comfortable fit and protection for your teeth. It's also important to have regular check-ups with your dentist to make sure the night guard is still properly fitting and helping protect your teeth from grinding.

Wearing a night guard can be an effective way to help protect your teeth from damage due to bruxism. It is important to speak with your dentist about whether or not it would be beneficial. Contact us today and we can answer more of your questions if you think you may need a night guard!
