Custom-fit Night Guards in Oklahoma
Do you grind your teeth? Do you find yourself clenching your jaw? If so, night guards could be a great option to help combat these issues and improve your dental health.
Custom-fit night guards can help relieve jaw pain and prevent teeth from grinding at night. Night guards are typically composed of firm yet flexible material designed specifically for your dental needs and made from durable acrylic plastic or sturdy soft silicone.
What are the risks of not having a night guard?
When you’re sleeping, your mouth moves quite a bit. If you have teeth grinding and clenching, you may find yourself grinding into your mouth guard during sleep. This can result in damaged teeth and receding gums.
Will my insurance cover the cost of a mouth guard?
It all depends on your policy. Dental insurance does not generally cover night guards or sleep-apnea mouth guards, for example.
How should I care for my night guard?
When you wake up and remove your mouth guard daily, be sure to rinse it off with warm water and gently brush it with a gentle toothbrush and toothpaste. Store in a clean and cool place.
