Wear a Night Guard to Save Your Teeth from the Damage of Teeth Grinding

A night guard is an oral appliance made of soft material that fits over your teeth during sleep. It acts as a shock absorber to protect your teeth from grinding against each other. Here are some benefits of wearing a night guard:

1. Prevents Teeth Damage: Grinding can wear down tooth enamel over time, exposing the inner layers of your teeth and making them more susceptible to decay and sensitivity.
2. Reduces Pain: Bruxism can cause headaches and facial pain due to muscle tension in the jaw area. A nightguard reduces this pain by preventing excessive pressure on the jaw muscles.
3. Improves Sleep: Wearing a night guard improves sleep quality by decreasing disruptive grinding sounds at night which may disturb both you and/or those sleeping nearby.
4. Economical: A properly fitting night guard prevents damage from occurring quickly which saves money on restorative dental procedures such as veneers or crowns later on down the road.
