Grinding your teeth at night?

Many people live with levels of stress that cause them to clench their teeth or grind them while they sleep. Unfortunately, this can severely damage the teeth. A dental guard protects the teeth and can relieve jaw pain by keeping the teeth slightly separated, allowing the jaw muscles to relax. Reach out ConfiDental Beverly Hills today to learn about a custom-tailored night guard.

What is a night guard?

A night guard is created to match the shape of your teeth and gums. It looks like a teeth whitening tray, comfortably fitting over your teeth and gums, as it is customized. If you struggle with teeth grinding, regularly wake up with a headache, or must protect your teeth from the wear associated with constant grinding and clenching, a night guard is likely the ideal solution.

How does a night guard work?

Bruxism is the medical term for grinding teeth while sleeping. A night guard can relieve TMJ and jaw clenching while keeping your jaw and teeth appropriately aligned while you sleep. It also keeps the teeth separated to avoid tooth surface damage and wear.

Tooth grinding – what could it do to your dental health?

Grinding your teeth while you are asleep can lead to several serious problems, including:

Flattens chewing surface
Chipped teeth
Wears away tooth enamel
Loosened teeth
Tooth pain or sensitivity
Tired jaw muscles
Jaw locked in place
Headaches
Facial pain

What you can expect while using a night guard

It is of utmost importance to keep your night guard clean:

Rinse it after every use and lightly brush it with a toothbrush
Before placing it back in its case, dry it completely
Do not use toothpaste since it might be too abrasive and damage the surface
The case itself should also be kept clean

Depending on how heavily you grind your teeth, your night guard can last anywhere from a couple of years to over a decade. Keep to your regular dental appointments and replace the night guard when necessary.
