Mouth Guards & Night Guards
As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Protecting the teeth not only helps to ensure that your teeth last a lifetime, but it also allows you to enjoy a much greater quality of life. Mouth guards and night guards are worn over the teeth to prevent clenching and grinding of the teeth. Mouth guards and night guards are also useful tools in headache prevention. Stress to the jawbone from clenching, grinding or injury is one of the main causes of frequent headaches.
Our mouth guards and night guards are custom designed for each patient to ensure proper fit and ultimate comfort. Call ATX Family Dental today to schedule a consultation regarding mouth guards and/or night guards. We will help you determine if this specialized dental service is right for you.
Custom Athletic Mouth Guards
The use of a mouth guard during a sports or athletic activity can help prevent serious dental injuries. While many people, parents included, only associate mouth guards with extreme contact sports such as football, wrestling or boxing, it is important to understand that injuries to the mouth can occur during almost any sporting activity. A custom athletic mouth guard should be part of every sports participant’s standard equipment. Studies have proven that athletes are 60 times more likely to suffer harm to the teeth if they are not wearing a mouth guard.
At ATX Family Dental, we understand the extreme importance of wearing a mouth guard while involved in athletic activities. Which is why we are proud to offer free mouth guards for local high school sports teams. Our commitment to the prevention of serious dental injuries runs deep because we know that these injuries can cause a lifetime of suffering and expense.
Night Guards to Prevent Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding during the night is a common and very painful condition for millions of Americans. Night time teeth grinding is the main source of frequent morning headaches, and it can cause extreme damage to the teeth – not to mention keeping your partner from getting a good night’s rest. If you or a member of your family is interested in a night guard to prevent teeth grinding, please contact ATX Family Dental today to schedule an appointment.
