Nightguards in Sunrise / Weston, FL
Westgate Dental
Friendly Staff. Beautiful Smiles. Welcoming Environment.
Many people are afflicted with bruxism, or teeth grinding. Some people may do this consciously during the day, but it is a larger problem at night while you are asleep. Grinding your teeth can damage enamel, wear down teeth, cause jaw pain, or irritate your gums. The noise from teeth grinding can also disturb your spouse’s sleep if loud enough.
If you grind your teeth you should consider a night guard. They are much like the ones worn by athletes. These are custom-made by the dentist so that it can fit you properly. These are very durable and can last you for 1years with proper maintenance.
There are also some things that you can do to try to stop teeth grinding. You can train your jaw to be free and easy rather than clenched. Refrain from chewing gum or on other objects like pens. You should also avoid alcoholic drinks and drinks with caffeine, as these can increase the likelihood you will grind your teeth. If you suspect you might be grinding your teeth at night then do not delay and book an appointment with us today.
