Dental mouthguards have a variety of uses. Here are three of the most common reasons you may need one.
Sports
If your child plays sports, chances are, he or she will get hit in the face eventually. When that happens, you and they will be glad you invested a little more money into purchasing a highly effective mouthguard to protect their teeth.
Teeth Grinding
Most people who grind their teeth throughout the day do not realize it. However, there are a handful of signs that indicate you may be grinding your teeth:
These are some of the most common signs of teeth grinding that a mouthguard can help prevent.
If you don’t believe you’re grinding your teeth during the day, it may be happening at nighttime.
Sleep disorders
Snoring, sleep apnea, and nighttime teeth grinding can all be reduced or prevented with a nightguard custom fitted for your teeth.
Mouthguards reduce snoring and improve sleep apnea by helping keep your airways open. They also reduce damage from grinding your teeth. And if you wake up in the morning with headaches or jaw soreness, dental night guards can lessen the pain.
Dental mouthguards are small, transparent, and discrete.
When custom made to fit your mouth, they feel very comfortable. Many people forget they are wearing them. Friends, family, and coworkers likely will never notice them.
