Protect Your Teeth While Sleeping With a Nightguard
For those with TMD (commonly known as TMJ), we may recommend you try night guard therapy. This can help alleviate the pain and muscle tension that comes from bruxism or nightly grinding. Just call Kaw Valley Dental Clinic to schedule a visit with our dentist and learn more about nightguards in Lawrence, KS. We look forward to seeing you for a consultation with Dr. Holden Correll.
A night guard is a special type of mouthguard that is used to treat bruxism or teeth grinding and clenching. If our dentist or team suspect that you suffer from bruxism, we may recommend a nightguard to protect your teeth from damage and prevent teeth grinding while you sleep. Many people who suffer from bruxism are unaware of the condition because it occurs while they sleep. Common signs of nighttime teeth clenching and grinding include:
- Chronic jaw pain, facial pain and ear pain
- Awakening with a tired or tight feeling in the jaw
- Frequent tension headaches and migraines
- Excessive tooth wear, leading to chipped, flattened, cracked or very worn teeth
- Extremely worn tooth enamel, exposing the inner layers of the tooth
- Indentations on the side of the tongue
- Increased tooth sensitivity
If you notice the signs of bruxism, you may benefit from a custom nightguard. This nightguard will be made to fit your smile comfortably and effectively, allowing you to sleep peacefully while protecting your teeth.
