What are Dental Night Guards?
If you frequently wake up with a sore jaw, dull headache or tooth pain, you may be suffering from bruxism, or teeth grinding. There are several ways to alleviate the effects of bruxism, but a dental night guard is one of the most common solutions. The main function of a night guard is to prevent the surfaces of your teeth from grinding together, causing you to chip or crack your teeth and strain your jaw muscles. A night guard is a custom-made appliance that you wear while you sleep to help prevent tooth damage, gum recession, and a decrease in muscle tenderness.
Do I Need a Night Guard for My Teeth?
Night guards may be necessary if you suffer from a condition known as bruxism. Bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching, affects a number of people and can result in a sore jaw, headache, and tooth pain. A night guard for your teeth provides a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, and can gently realign the jaw to decrease teeth grinding. Regardless of why you need a custom mouth guard, Dr. Mulhall can provide a personalized solution and comprehensive care. Other possible treatments for bruxism include splint therapy and teeth straightening by an orthodontist, stress prevention, and changes to your diet.
Night guards are an effective way to combat the symptoms of bruxism.
Night guards are a comfortable and non-invasive alternative to other treatments.
While lifestyle changes may help with the symptoms of teeth grinding, night guards are often necessary to supplement your healthy lifestyle.
Our various products are conducive to enhancing your oral health and minimizing grinding, such as our effective use of Botox that will prevent nighttime grinding.

Associations
Why a Dental Night Guard in Downtown Calgary is Necessary
Teeth grinding and clenching can occur mainly at night while sleeping. Many may not realize this until symptoms such as jaw soreness or headaches manifest throughout the day. Not addressing sleep bruxism can lead to issues like TMJ and possibly even fracturing, loosening, or loss of teeth if severe enough. Help manage your sleep bruxism by having a dentist in downtown Calgary like Dr. Mulhall fit you with a personalized night guard. Don’t let nighttime bruxism impact your daily life and health any longer – find relief sooner and book an appointment today!
