Night Guard

Grinding your teeth, also known as bruxism, can cause serious dental issues over time. It can damage enamel, wear down your teeth, lead to jaw pain, cause headaches, or even irritate your gums. For some, the noise from teeth grinding can disturb their partner’s sleep, leading to restless nights for both. If you grind your teeth, a night guard can be a simple and effective solution.

A night guard, similar to a mouth guard worn by athletes, creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep. This prevents further damage to your teeth and alleviates pressure on your jaw. Night guards are custom-fitted to ensure maximum comfort and proper breathing throughout the night.

At Blue Bell Family Dentistry, the process begins with a visit with Dr. Inkook Park or Dr. Sooju Kim, who will take a precise impression of your teeth. This impression is sent to a trusted dental lab, where a night guard is carefully crafted to fit your unique bite. The result is a durable, high-quality guard designed to protect your teeth and provide a comfortable fit.

If you suspect you might be grinding your teeth at night—whether due to waking up with a sore jaw or noticing signs of wear on your teeth—it’s important to address the issue before it leads to more serious complications. Schedule an appointment with Blue Bell Family Dentistry today to explore how a custom night guard can protect your oral health and improve your quality of sleep.
