If you suffer from bruxism, or chronic grinding and clenching, you will likely benefit from an oral mouth guard. However, because grinding and clenching primarily takes place at night, you may not be aware of these unintentional actions.
If you suffer from bruxism, or chronic grinding and clenching, you will likely benefit from an oral mouth guard. However, because grinding and clenching primarily takes place at night, you may not be aware of these unintentional actions. It is important to know the symptoms of bruxism and to seek appropriate treatment when you notice the signs, before you experience worn or cracked teeth that require restorative procedures such as dental crowns. Symptoms of these conditions can include:
Bruxism can put tremendous pressure on your teeth and lead to significant wear and breakage. A night guard can prevent enamel erosion, cracked teeth, and related dental damage.
After determining the most suitable type of night guard for you, Dr. Setareh or a member of his team will take impressions of your teeth. Our lab will use these molds to create your appliance, so it should be very comfortable. You will typically adjust to it after just a few nights and can wear it for years to come.
If you have questions regarding your oral health, or would like to schedule an appointment, please feel free to contact our Lancaster or Palmdale dental offices.
During your initial consultation, you will receive information about your dental health, including a diagnosis, as well as the treatment needed to correct the problem, any risks associated with the treatment, the cost of care, and the time required.
We believe that you deserve to be fully informed about your treatment plan from the beginning.
