Mouth Guards
Generally, mouth guards cover your upper teeth only but in some instances (such as if you wear braces or another fixed dental appliance on your lower jaw), your dentist will make a mouth guard for the lower teeth as well. Top Gum Dental can suggest the best mouth guard for you. An effective mouth guard should be comfortable, resist tears, be durable and easy to clean, and should not restrict your breathing or speech.
If you grind your teeth at night, a special mouth guard-type of dental appliance — called a nocturnal bite plate or night guard — may be created to prevent tooth damage.
If you think you’d benefit from appliance therapy, please request an appointment!
