Night Guards In Scottsdale, AZ

Signs You May Need A Dental Night Guard

At our dental office, we recommend custom dental night guards in Scottsdale to protect your teeth from damage caused by grinding or clenching. Here are some signs you may need a night guard:

• Jaw Pain or Soreness: If you wake up with a sore or tight jaw, it could be due to grinding or clenching your teeth at night.
• Teeth Wear or Erosion: Noticing flat spots, chipped teeth, or worn-down enamel can be a sign of teeth grinding.
• Tooth Sensitivity: Grinding can expose nerves, leading to increased tooth sensitivity.
• Headaches: Frequent headaches, especially in the morning, may be linked to jaw clenching during sleep.
• Sleep Disruptions: You or your partner may notice loud grinding noises at night, which may indicate teeth grinding.

Although the problem is serious, the solution is often as simple as a bite splint or night guard from Kierland Dental Arts in Scottsdale, AZ. This removable appliance snaps into place to form a layer between your top and bottom teeth, relieving tension in your jaw.
