Night Guards
Have been a patient at the Family Dental Station for about six years. You can always expect great dental care by the staff. I will probably be a patient of Dr. Arthurs for life.
Do you think you might need a night guard? Grinding teeth and jaw clenching are aggravating yet common issues for many Americans. These actions are involuntary and, since the force of the jaw is so powerful, can cause severe, permanent, and painful damage—all while you sleep.
Although the problem is serious, the solution is often as simple as a bite splint or night guard from Family Dental Station. This removable appliance snaps into place to form a layer between your top and bottom teeth, relieving the tension in your jaw.
A night guard may be right for you if:
- You experience pain, soreness, or swelling of the jaw
- Your teeth show evidence of wear or erosion
- You have porcelain crowns or veneers that are susceptible to damage
Knowing your teeth are protected with a night guard will help you rest a little easier. Some insurance plans cover all or at least a portion of the cost, and our helpful staff can find out if yours does, too. Call Family Dental Station to schedule an appointment today.
