Night guards are an essential tool for those who grind their teeth during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. This habit can cause significant dental wear, leading to sensitivity, pain and even tooth damage over time. At Oceanview Family Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing patients with custom-fitted night guards in Oceanside, California, designed to protect your teeth and alleviate the symptoms of bruxism.
Why Use Night Guards?
Custom night guards offer several benefits for individuals suffering from bruxism:
- Protection Against Tooth Damage: They prevent the upper and lower teeth from coming into direct contact, thereby reducing wear and tear.
- Alleviation of Jaw Tension and Pain: By minimizing grinding, night guards can help alleviate jaw strain and chronic pain.
- Improved Sleep Patterns: Reducing teeth grinding can lead to more restful sleep and decrease the likelihood of waking up due to jaw discomfort.
Custom-Fitted for Comfort
Unlike over-the-counter options, custom-fitted night guards are designed based on precise impressions of your teeth. This ensures a perfect fit that is both comfortable and effective at preventing the negative effects of bruxism.
