Night guards are one of those simple solutions that go a long way when it comes to protecting your teeth and avoiding the uncomfortable effects of bruxism. We provide custom night guards to many of our patients here at Greenville Family Dentistry. For those of you who experience headaches and migraines, TMJ, jaw pain, teeth clenching and grinding, a night guard can help minimize these issues and prevent bigger problems, including tooth chipping and cracking, enamel damage and jaw misalignment.
Night guards work by absorbing the force and stress that’s often exerted by the jaw muscles and results in unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism. Night guards are comfortable and discreet, and for many patients, highly effective in preventing headaches, jaw discomfort and tooth damage that often occurs if bruxism is left untreated.
If you think you may be affected by bruxism, if you regularly experience headaches and migraines, or if you notice any indications that you’re grinding your teeth at night or during the day, contact us here at Greenville Family Dentistry to determine if a custom night guard can work for you.
