Biteguards, Nightguards, & Mouthguards 

If you participate in any kind of full-contact sport, the American Dental Association recommends that you wear a mouthguard. Also, many people grind or clench their teeth at night causing wear, cracks, fractures, and sensitivity. We can make and show you how to properly wear a bite-guard. We offer in-office and lab fabricated night-guards.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What are the benefits of wearing a mouth guard?

Wearing a bite guard protects your teeth from wear, fractures, and breakage caused by grinding or clenching of the teeth.  The bite guard also helps prevent (TMJ) a dysfunction of the joint connecting the jaw to the skull. It is very painful and can result in the jaw locking if untreated.

When should I wear my mouth guard?

You should wear your bite guard every night and/or as directed by your dentist.
