The Role of Nightguards in Preventing Tooth Damage
Custom nightguards serve as an essential tool in preventing tooth damage caused by teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. Many individuals may not realize they grind their teeth, especially during sleep, leading to significant dental issues. At Meade Family Dentistry, located in Benicia, CA, we understand the importance of protecting your smile and alleviating jaw discomfort. Our experienced team, led by Joseph Meade, DDS, specializes in custom solutions tailored to meet individual needs.
Teeth grinding can result in various dental problems, including fractured teeth, worn enamel, and jaw pain. A custom nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, mitigating the pressure exerted during grinding. This not only safeguards your teeth but also can relieve strain on the jaw muscles, enhancing overall comfort.
One of the primary advantages of custom nightguards over store-bought options is the personalized fit. Custom nightguards are designed based on digital impressions of your teeth, ensuring optimum comfort and effectiveness. This level of precision allows for better results in protecting against tooth wear and reducing discomfort frequently associated with bruxism.
