Keep Your Smile Intact With a Professional Night Guard
Without knowing it, many people grind their teeth in their sleep. That’s why your dentist and hygienist will check for signs of bruxism at each dental cleaning and exam. If we see signs of worn teeth, we’ll recommend that you invest in a professional mouthguard to wear while you’re sleeping.
This appliance will:
- Fit comfortably in your mouth, as it will be made specifically for you
- Keep your teeth apart so if you have a habit of clenching and grinding, you’ll spare your teeth from damage
- Perform better and last longer than a store-bought mouthguard
Your new night guard will also help with any TMJ pain you’ve been experiencing. If your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) on either side of your head are sore or hurt when you open and close your mouth, this appliance will help. It will move your lower jaw forward a bit to relieve tension on your jaw so you can relax while sleeping. Wearing the mouthguard while you sleep will also allow your TMJs to begin the healing process.
Getting a custom mouthguard from Jackman Family Dentistry is a win-win situation. Not only will it protect your smile against the effects of teeth grinding, it will also help your aching jaw feel better.
Call us today at 707-608-6973 to find out more about Vacaville mouthguards. We looking forward to helping you maintain a beautiful, pain-free smile.
