Mouthguards are protective pieces custom fitted over your teeth to protect them from trauma or excessive wear. Having one made that fits snuggly to your teeth provides a better level of both protection and comfort. At Dentique Dental Solutions, North Sydney families like yours can benefit from the two different types of mouth guards that we offer:
Bruxism (grinding and clenching) often occurs when you sleep, especially if you have a high level of stress. Waking up with a headache, jaw pain or sore teeth are symptoms of excessive grinding. Dr. Dennis Teoh will assess the wear patterns of your bite to determine if a splint is something that is necessary. Protecting your teeth with a splint can prevent broken crowns, fillings and cracked teeth. It can also eliminate frequent headaches and jaw pain.
If you have a history of grinding, oral injuries or are involved in any athletic activity, then a custom mouthguard or splint can be highly beneficial to the health of your smile. In many cases, a mouthguard or splint can help you avoid unnecessary emergency visits and ensure the longevity of your dental restorations.
Contact us today to see if a mouthguard or night splint would be beneficial for you.
Whichever specific health issue you're currently facing, we'll be more than glad to give you a pre-appointment, free consultation on it!
New patients are always welcome.
