Night Guards in Nolan Hill

Tooth wear, a chipped tooth or jaw discomfort may lead to a conversation about grinding or clenching. These concerns can have more than one cause, and a dental examination helps guide the next steps.

A night guard is an appliance worn over the teeth during sleep. A custom guard is made to fit your mouth. It may help protect teeth and restorations, but it may not stop grinding or resolve every cause of jaw pain.

Your dentist can explain how to wear, clean and store the guard, and when its fit should be checked. Tell us if it feels uncomfortable or your bite seems different.
