night guards

Night guards can prevent a variety of problems caused by night time grinding and clenching.

It is estimated that half of all adults grind their teeth at night, which can lead to premature wear of the teeth, cracked teeth, chipped teeth and popping in the jaw joint.

Wearing a night guard can also relieve many of the symptoms caused by clenching or grinding, such as hot, cold and biting sensitivity as well as pain in the jaw joints and surrounding muscles (TMJ).
