Dental Mouth Guard
Protect your teeth from damage with dental mouth guards.
What is a Dental Mouth Guard for?
Teeth grinding, also known as teeth bruxism, can lead to various dental problems and discomfort. One of the ways to protect against teeth grinding is by using a mouth guard, also referred to as a night guard or dental guard. These custom-fitted mouth guards provide a barrier between the upper and lower teeth.
Our teeth endure immense pressure daily as we chew, speak and engage in habits like grinding or nail biting. Teeth cannot heal, making cracks or chips permanent and irreversible.
Mouth guards for teeth grinding, are also beneficial for individuals who experience jaw pain or tension headaches due to bruxism. By wearing a properly fitted mouth guard, the lower jaw can be positioned forward slightly, relieving pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and reducing the risk of TMJ disorder.
Signs and Symptoms of Teeth Grinding
Muscle Tension Or Jaw Pain
Jaw pain and neck pain are two frequent signs of teeth grinding. These occur because of the tightening of these muscles during episodes of bruxism.
Morning headaches that feel like tension headaches or tightness of the jaw is another symptom.
Damage To Teeth
Unexplained damage to teeth can be a sign of bruxism. Over time, the repetitive motion of grinding can wear down the enamel, leading to tooth sensitivity, fractures or even the flattening of teeth.
This damage may become apparent during dental check ups or when experiencing heightened tooth sensitivity.
Can Happen During Day Or Night
Teeth grinding can occur at any time, whether during the day or while asleep at night. Some individuals may be aware of clenching or grinding their teeth during waking hours, especially in situations of stress or anxiety.
Conversely, others may only discover their grinding habit through symptoms such as jaw pain or tooth damage observed upon waking.
How To Detect Teeth Grinding?
Most people are not aware that they grind or clench their teeth as a habit. If your dentist notices any signs of tooth wear or if you frequently experience symptoms such as jaw aches or tension headaches, it may be a clear indication that you grind your teeth while sleeping. Try to pay attention to how you are holding your teeth together throughout the day. It commonly occurs during periods of concentration such as when you are working or when you experience stress. It is extremely important to detect the problem early and take appropriate actions to protect your teeth.
Choosing the Right Mouth Guard: Custom vs. Over-the-Counter Options
Over-the-counter mouth guards and sports guards tend to be bulky and ill-fitting. Due to varying mouth shapes, they often fail at providing optimal protection. Additionally, their effectiveness against teeth grinding is questionable, and soft guards might inadvertently encourage increased jaw movement, as individuals often find themselves chewing on them.

This dental clinic has very good staff who are well trained and friendly. The dentists are also very good and will explain the treatment in detail before starting treatment. The equipment is very high tech and I believe they are able to do high quality work as I did my crown here and it looks much better than my colleague who also recently did his at another place. The waiting room is also very comfortable. good job!

This clinic is one of the best I have ever seen. I saw dr Justin for my implant which I did many years ago, the tooth was loose, and other drs told me to remove it as they could not find out what brand it was but dr Justin was able to take 3d xrays and locate the brand and specially ordered the part in. he saved me from having to do a surgery to remove and put a new implant which would have cost me a bomb. the tooth looks even better than the original thanks to the experieced dental technician Katsuya from Japan.
Very happy and will keep coming back for my regular dental.

my workplace is close by and I had a problem with my tooth for a few days, so I made an appointment to come down. The receptionist who booked my appointment was very helpful and friendly to explain the way to the clinic from my office. I saw Dr Nicholas who was able to do a root canal treatment on the same visit so that I didn't need to come back. I felt safe and comfortable to do my dental treatment here as the dental picks are all wrapped up and sterilized and only opened before each treatment when im inside.
