Why Do You Need to Wear a Mouth Guard?
Dental guards can be used to address a variety of dental conditions, which include:
Bruxism: Bruxism is a condition where you grind or clench your teeth, often during sleep. This can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches. A mouth guard can help protect your teeth and alleviate symptoms.
TMJ disorders: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorders can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, and neck. A mouth guard from our dental office can help relieve pressure on the TMJ and alleviate symptoms.
Sleep apnea: Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep. Wearing a mouth guard can help keep the airway open and improve breathing during sleep.
Tooth sensitivity: If you have sensitive teeth, our dental guard can help protect your teeth from temperature changes, acidic foods, and other irritants.
Orthodontic treatment: Mouth shields can help protect your braces or other orthodontic appliances from damage during sports or other physical activities.
