Protect Your Smile With A Custom Nightguard

General Info, Patient Information

Many adults grind their teeth unconsciously, a condition known as bruxism. Most of the time, they don’t even realize it’s happening. Bruxism strikes in moments of high stress and at night, during sleep. Teeth grinding will damage teeth over time, wearing them down prematurely, weakening them, and leaving them vulnerable to cracking and other damage. Persistent teeth grinding also contributes to TMJ disorders because it puts a lot of pressure on the jaw joints. To protect teeth from lasting damage, we offer custom nightguards.

General Info, Preventive Dentistry

As a family dental practice, we know preventive care is the best thing anyone can do for their oral health. However, we also know that some patients may not understand this and will only contact their dentist when there’s a noticeable problem. Others may think they’re too old for preventive care to make a difference or that brushing and flossing at home is enough to keep their teeth and gums healthy. While we certainly don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, we must insist that every single person needs preventive dental care at every age and stage of life.
