Tooth grinding or bruxism, is a serious issue that can result in damage to your teeth, poor sleep patterns, and soreness in the muscles of the face and neck, not to mention an unhappy spouse. Fortunately, this problem can normally be corrected with the use of a dental night guard.
Night guards look much like a sports mouth guard but are specially designed to prevent muscle tension and withstand the intense pressure exerted by tooth grinders. Only your dental office can provide a custom-made night guard that will fit your teeth perfectly.
