Dental Nightguards: Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep

Teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching can cause significant damage to your teeth and lead to discomfort, but dental nightguards provide an effective solution. At Scottsdale Dental Centre in Guelph, Dr. Ahmad and his team offer custom-fitted nightguards designed to protect your teeth and prevent long-term issues.

What Are Dental Nightguards & Why Are They Needed?

A dental nightguard is a custom-made oral appliance that cushions and protects your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching during sleep. Nightguards are recommended for individuals who experience:

• Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) during sleep
• Jaw pain, soreness, or stiffness
• Frequent headaches caused by jaw tension
• Worn-down or chipped teeth
• TMJ disorders affecting jaw movement

Signs You May Need a Dental Nightguard

• Waking up with jaw pain or headaches
• Grinding or clenching your teeth at night
• Increased tooth sensitivity
• Worn-down enamel or chipped teeth
• Tension or pain in the jaw and facial muscles
