How often have you been to a Dentist and been skeptical when it comes to the diagnosis made of needing a night guard. Often patients will express that they don’t have any pain or discomfort during the day so why should they need an appliance? The truth is that the majority of patients are grinding or clenching their teeth during their sleep.
What are some of the signs that we look for?
A properly made and fitted night guard will decrease the forces of clenching and grinding. It will also decrease the forces being applied to your muscle and joint allowing more comfortable jaw movement, a reduction in headaches and protected teeth!
For more information on night guard appliances, please call the office at (905-697-1118) for a consultation with one of our Bowmanville Dentist team members.
Sincerly,
West Bowmanville Family Dental
