What Are Mouth Guards?
A mouth guard is a removable oral appliance worn over the teeth to protect them from grinding, clenching, and other sources of pressure or impact. Unlike store-bought options, a custom-fitted mouth guard from your dentist is made from precise impressions of your teeth for a comfortable, secure fit.
At Rancho Cucamonga Dentistry, Dr. Munguia offers custom mouth guards for patients dealing with bruxism — a condition where you grind or clench your teeth, often during sleep. Worn consistently, a mouth guard can prevent long-term damage and relieve the symptoms that come with it.
Know the Warning Signs
Signs Mouth Guards Are Right For You
If any of these sound familiar, a mouth guard may be exactly what your smile needs.
Morning Jaw Pain
You wake up with soreness or stiffness in your jaw that eases throughout the day — a common sign of nighttime grinding.
Frequent Headaches
Recurring tension headaches, especially in the morning, can result from the muscle strain caused by clenching during sleep.
Worn or Flattened Teeth
If your teeth look shorter or flatter than they used to, grinding may be slowly eroding your enamel over time.
Tooth Sensitivity
Enamel loss from bruxism can expose the inner layers of your teeth, making them more sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
Cracked or Chipped Teeth
Unexplained chips or cracks that aren’t tied to an injury may be the result of pressure from chronic nighttime grinding.
Disrupted Sleep
Teeth grinding can be loud enough to wake a partner and disruptive enough to prevent you from getting truly restful sleep.
