What is Bruxism?

Do you wake up with a sore jaw, aching temples, or sensitive teeth? You may be experiencing bruxism—the unconscious clenching and grinding of teeth while you sleep.

Why Is Bruxism a Problem?

Your molars are designed to grind food, but when teeth grind against each other without food in between, it can lead to:

Severe tooth damage over time
Worn-out enamel, causing sensitivity
Broken or chipped teeth from excessive pressure
Jaw strain and muscle fatigue, leading to persistent discomfort
Frequent headaches and aching temples due to tension in the jaw

At Goldfields Family Dental, we can help protect your teeth with a custom-fitted night guard, designed to prevent grinding and relieve discomfort.

What is a Night Guard?

A night guard is a custom-made dental appliance designed to fit your teeth perfectly, preventing grinding and clenching while you sleep. By acting as a protective cushion, it eliminates direct contact between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the risk of wear, fractures, and sensitivity caused by bruxism.

These are made with a durable yet flexible material that covers all the teeth for overall protection

This type of guard covers only the front bottom four teeth. It also has a mechanism to cushion jaw muscle clenching and contractions. NTI-ss Plus guards can reduce the headache by a major 70%.

Besides protecting teeth, night guards also limit the jaw clenching movement passively protecting your teeth and jaw from damage.

Why Should You Use a Night Guard?

Wearing a night guard is one of the most effective ways to protect your teeth from damage caused by nightly clenching and grinding. Without protection, bruxism can lead to worn enamel, chipped or cracked teeth, and increased sensitivity over time.

Using a nightguard restricts the everyday destructive cycle of clenching and grinding of teeth, protecting your teeth’ enamel. Otherwise, you might just wake up with chips and cracks in your teeth almost every day. Using a nightguard regularly and on time will lower restorative dental procedure needs and hence save some bucks.

With overworked jaw muscles, it is natural to have persistent headaches. With minimized clenching and movement of your jaw, the headache is also minimized.

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are common for patients with bruxism disorder. Using night guards assists in aligning your jaw and reducing muscle pain.
