Night Guards - Gulfside Dental
Here at Gulfside Dental, your dentist may suggest a night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep. A night guard is a mouthpiece custom-fitted to your teeth that protects them from excessive grinding.
You could buy a night guard at the local drugstore but it will not be made for your mouth. If the over-the-counter guard is too large it could fall out of the mouth while you are sleeping. If this guard is too small then it won't protect all your teeth. Dr. McCash, Dr. Botero, or Dr. Reyes will examine which parts of your mouth are most affected by the grinding and customize a night guard that will provide maximum protection for your teeth.
