At Anderson Family Dentistry, we understand that teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can lead to a variety of dental problems, including jaw pain, worn tooth enamel, increased tooth sensitivity and even fractured teeth. To protect your teeth and alleviate the symptoms of bruxism, we offer custom-fitted night guards. These protective oral devices are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth, providing a barrier to absorb the pressure of clenching and grinding while you sleep.
The process of getting a night guard starts with a comprehensive evaluation to assess your specific needs and determine if a night guard is the right solution for you. Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a night guard that fits your mouth precisely. This custom fit ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness, allowing you to sleep without the worry of damaging your teeth.
Benefits of wearing a night guard include:
- Protection against tooth damage from grinding and clenching
- Reduction in jaw pain and discomfort
- Improved sleep patterns by minimizing bruxism-related disturbances
- Prevention of future dental issues and associated costs
- Relief from headaches and earaches often caused by bruxism
Investing in a night guard is a proactive step towards maintaining your oral health and overall well-being. Our dentist and team are committed to providing you with a solution that not only protects your teeth but also contributes to a peaceful night’s sleep. If you are experiencing symptoms of bruxism, or if you are concerned about teeth grinding, schedule a consultation with Dr. Tyson Anderson at 804-744-1280. Together, we can determine if a night guard in Midlothian, Virginia, is the right option for you, ensuring your teeth stay healthy and intact for years to come.
