Rest Assured Night Guard Protects Against Chipped Teeth

Night GuardGrinding and clenching can damage your teeth. It can cause chipped teeth, loose fillings and loss of enamel.

A great deal of undiagnosed tooth sensitivity can also be due to the clenching or grinding.

The vast majority of adults grind or clench their teeth in their sleep, although a small number will do it subconsciously during the day.

Periods of stress can exacerbate the episodes.

A Night Guard provides a cushion between your upper and lower teeth thus helping to protect them from the harmful effects of grinding and clenching and it frequently aids the patient in breaking the neurological cycle that causes the grinding.

It is important to have a professionally Night Guard made since the over the counter Night Guards frequently lack the precise fit that a laboratory made one has.

Furthermore, it may aggravate the condition by positioning the jaws in a less than favorable relation to one another.
