Night guards in Nashua, NH

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, usually happens during sleep, so many people don't know they do it. Common signs include waking with a sore jaw, tension headaches near the temples, and teeth that look flat, chipped, or worn. Other clues are sensitivity, cracked fillings, and a partner hearing grinding at night. Stress, sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, a misaligned bite, and some medications can contribute. We often spot wear patterns during routine exams before patients notice symptoms.

Wear your night guard every night for the best protection. Rinse and gently brush it each morning with cool water and a soft brush, then let it dry in its ventilated case. Avoid hot water, which can warp it. Bring it to your checkups so we can check the fit and wear. If you also have jaw pain, we may combine the guard with other TMJ care.
