Teeth clenching and grinding are common occurrences that happen to patients of all ages during sports or sleeping. Damage to your teeth, surrounding tissues, and TMD may result.

Night guards are a conservative treatment option to protect your mouth, while reducing stress on your jaw joint. Most night guards are thermoplastic, and soften when they are heated in warm water, just prior to insertion.

At Nipissing Dental, we fabricate mouth guards for sports and for sleeping. Benefits of sports guards for athletes include: preventing tooth fractures, tooth loss, and soft tissue damage, as well as reducing the risk of severe dental trauma.
