Grinding your teeth can wear down enamel and cause jaw pain. Unfortunately, many people who grind their teeth do not know they do it because it happens while they are sleeping. Here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we can diagnose night grinding and offer patients a night guard to protect their teeth from further damage.
Night grinding can create painful and sensitive teeth, jaw pain, facial pain, and even tooth damage. Because the enamel is worn down, it can make teeth prone to cavities. Night grinding may also lead to TMJ dysfunction.
To protect the teeth from damage and to cushion the jaw and facial structures, we can provide our patients with a night guard. A night guard is a mouthpiece worn while you sleep. It creates a barrier between the top and bottom teeth; creating a protective cushion. For night grinders, a night guard is essential to maintain oral health and relieve pain.
If you have been told you grind your teeth or if you are waking up with a sore jaw, night guards may be what you need to protect your teeth. To schedule an appointment at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call us at (720) 459-8420 or visit, Family Dentist Parker, CO.
