Dental Night Guards
Dental Night Guards
Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You may be grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep, a condition known as bruxism. At Pelican Dental, we offer custom dental night guards designed to protect your teeth and jaw, relieve discomfort, and improve your overall oral health.
What are Dental Night Guards?
A dental night guard is a custom-made oral appliance worn over your teeth while you sleep. It acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing grinding and clenching that can damage enamel and strain the jaw joint.
Signs You May Need a Night Guard
Many people don’t even realize they grind or clench their teeth while they sleep until they start experiencing pain or notice damage to their teeth. Recognizing the signs early can help prevent long-term issues with your teeth and jaw.
Some signs you might notice are:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Frequent headaches or migraine
- Tooth sensitivity or worn-down teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Popping or clicking sounds in the jaw
- Facial or ear pain, especially in the morning
