Teeth clenching and grinding are common occurrences. Many individuals clench or grind their teeth while they are sleeping at night. Damage to your teeth, surrounding tissues, and TMJ may result. Night guards are a conservative treatment option to protect your mouth, while reducing stress on your TMJ. Most night guards are thermoplastic, and soften when they are heated in warm water, just prior to insertion.

At Nobleton Family Dental, we also fabricate mouth guards for sports. Benefits of sports guards for athletes include: preventing tooth fractures, tooth loss and soft tissue damage, as well as reducing the risk of brain injury.
