This is one of Dr. Dahle’s most recommended treatments. He personally struggles with bruxism, teeth grinding, or clenching. Many years ago, he broke all 4 of his most posterior molars. Something as simple as a nightguard could have prevented him having to have 4 dental crowns the next day.
With the increase of stress and restlessness, we are seeing an increase in teeth clenching and grinding at night. Nighttime teeth grinding, clenching, and TMJ dysfunction in many cases can be treated using customized mouthguards worn during sleep. If you need help relieving jaw pain or protecting your teeth from excessive wear and damage caused by nighttime grinding and clenching, custom nightguards from Dahle Dental may be just what you need.
