Unconscious grinding of the teeth during sleep is a condition known as bruxism. If you are grinding your teeth in your sleep most nights, you should contact our dental office for a custom nightguard in Frankfort.
A nightguard is a removable dental appliance that is similar to an athletic mouth guard. It provides a barrier between your top and bottom teeth to protect them while you sleep.
Dr. Snow will custom-fit your nightguard to ensure your comfort and safety. Nightguards can protect your teeth from wear, gum irritation, tooth enamel damage, and jaw pain.
At your appointment, Dr. Snow will discuss other ways to help reduce or eliminate nighttime teeth grinding. This may include avoiding chewing gum, alcohol, and caffeine, as these increase the risks of grinding.
If you suspect you may have issues with teeth grinding, contact our office for an appointment.
