Our dentist and team understand the impact that conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) can have on your oral health and overall well-being. To combat the adverse effects of this condition, Dr. Josh M. Millsaps recommends the use of custom-fitted night guards in Hickory, North Carolina. These oral appliances are designed to be worn during sleep, providing a barrier between your upper and lower teeth to prevent damage caused by grinding and clenching.
Why Consider a Night Guard?
We outline several benefits of using night guards for patients with bruxism:
- Prevents Tooth Damage: Night guards protect against wear and tear on your teeth, preventing chipping, cracking and enamel erosion.
- Reduces Jaw Pain and Tension: By alleviating the pressure of teeth grinding, night guards can significantly reduce jaw pain, headaches and TMJ disorders.
- Improves Sleep Patterns: Using a night guard can lead to a more comfortable and uninterrupted sleep by reducing the discomfort associated with clenching and grinding.
