Night Guards
Night Guards - Preventive Dentistry in North Salt Lake, Utah
Night Guards is the right solution recommended by the dentist in North Salt Lake Dental to those diagnosed with bruxism or teeth grinding. Even though limiting the habit can be difficult, a night guard acts as a preventive measure for possible teeth damage while sleeping. It is designed to absorb the clenching and grinding forces. A patient with bruxism should wear it before going to sleep.
How does our nightguard help?
The night guard which a patient wears at night while sleeping provides a cushioning effect that prevents the upper and lower teeth from wearing away at each other. Excessive grinding of the teeth can lead to chipping and erosion. Nightguards prevent such occurrences in patients with bruxism or teeth grinding issues. However, the patient may still experience jaw pain due to the grinding.
Five Reasons You Should Wear A Nightguard
- Prevents tooth enamel erosion that leads to teeth sensitivity and tooth decay
- Prevents fracture caused due to weakened teeth
- Prevents wearing out of any fillings
- Prevents TMJ disorder
- Eliminate headaches
