The Ultimate Solution for Teeth Protection at Blauer Family Dental
“Dr. Blauer and his staff are terrific!”
Tossing and turning in your sleep, you might not realize the toll that nighttime clenching or grinding is taking on your dental health. Bruxism, as this condition is known, can cause headaches, jaw pain, and even damaged teeth. Thankfully, Spearfish residents have an expert solution available: Night guards provided by Blauer Family Dental.
What Are Night Guards?
Night guards are custom-made dental appliances that fit over your teeth. They are designed to protect your teeth from the effects of clenching or grinding during sleep. Made of durable, soft material, night guards act as a cushion between the upper and lower teeth, preventing direct contact and alleviating the stress placed on them.
Why Do You Need a Night Guard?
Protecting Your Teeth: Constant grinding can wear down the enamel on your teeth, leading to increased sensitivity and making them more susceptible to cavities.
Preventing TMJ Disorders: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to the skull. Excessive grinding or clenching can strain this joint, leading to pain or even TMJ disorders.
Reducing Headaches: The stress and strain from bruxism often result in tension headaches or migraines.
Preventing Broken Fillings and Crowns: The force exerted during clenching can damage dental restorations like fillings or crowns.
