Dental Guards

If you sometimes grind your teeth at night, you’ll know how unpleasant this habit can be. Also called bruxism, teeth grinding and jaw clenching is often stress-related and in many cases it happens during sleep when people have no control over it. This problem can lead to facial pain, headaches, and pain and stiffness in the jaw and surrounding muscles. It can also cause disrupted sleep, both for you and your partner, and may result in worn-down or broken teeth. It may be very difficult to stop grinding your teeth as you sleep, but there are steps you can take to help ensure any damage caused by this behaviour is limited. Mouth guards are one option. They help to even the pressure out across your jaw, and they act as a barrier between your lower and upper teeth to protect them from damage. They can also help to minimise any sounds made when you grind your teeth during the night. If you’re looking for dental mouth guards in the UK, you’ve come to the right place.
