Dental Night Guards & Mouthguards
Protecting your teeth is our top priority. But, is it yours? There are many ways to protect your teeth against decay, infection, and injury. While preventative maintenance like daily brushing and flossing, along with biannual professional cleanings, helps protect your teeth against infection and decay, you also need to protect your teeth against injury and dental trauma. Mouthguards and night guards offer a cushion-like protection to your teeth, shielding them against impact from sports injuries, bruxism, and TMJ.
Mouthguards
Mouthguard, also knows as sportsguards, are essential for preventing dental trauma if you or your child is an athlete. Avoiding costly and painful dental procedures may be just one mouthguard away.
Commons Reasons to Get a Mouthguard
- Involved in sport
While custom-made mouthguards are generally the most effective type of mouthguards and nightguards, they are not the only type of mouthguards available to you. Your dentist at Printers Row Dental Studio will be able to help you determine the best type of mouthguard for you and your lifestyle.
Night Guards
Night guards are like mouthguards, but instead of being used to protect your teeth from the impact of sports, they are intended to protect your teeth from the affects of clenching and grinding while you sleep. If you clench or grind your teeth while you sleep and Dr. Ema prescribes you a night guard, she will take an impression of your teeth so that she can order you a customized night guard.
Reasons to get a night guard
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- TMJ disorder
At Printers Row Dental Studio, we offer custom-made mouthguards and night guards. Your dentist at Printers Row Dental Studio will be able to help you determine the best type of mouthguard or nightguard for you and your lifestyle.
