Stop Tooth Grinding Damage With A Bruxism Nightguard!

Nightguards are removable covers for your teeth that are made from a soft and flexible material. They are used to help protect the teeth while you sleep from grinding together, which can cause pain and dental degradation over time.

Grinding your teeth can have consequences you may not even realize. Because of this, it is important to consult with a dentist in Orlando any time you feel pain or soreness in the mouth following a night of sleep.

At Woodland Lakes Dental, we ensure the nightguards we provide are custom-made to fit your mouth shape and teeth comfortably to help you sleep better through the night without having to worry about the health and safety of your teeth.

Teeth grinding and clenching is medically known as Bruxism and can happen for a number of reasons. For some, Bruxism may be an every-night occurrence, while for others it may only occur when they have undergone a stressful change or period of time in their lives.

Regardless of what has caused the grinding or clenching, treating Bruxism is of the utmost importance as it can have detrimental effects to your health in both the long-term and the short-term. These side effects include:

• Worn down or damaged teeth and thinned enamel
• Headaches
• Sore jaw
• Pain on or around specific teeth
• Unrestful sleep

While it may feel difficult at first to get used to wearing a nightguard while you sleep, there are many benefits that come from using one, including:

• More restful sleep
• Better protection of teeth that results in less-costly dental visits later on
• Decreased tooth pain and jaw soreness
