If you often wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth sensitivity, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep — a condition known as bruxism. Over time, this can wear down your teeth, cause enamel damage, and lead to more serious dental issues. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution: a custom nightguard.
A nightguard is a dental appliance made of durable, comfortable material that fits over your teeth while you sleep. Its main purpose is to create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing the damage caused by grinding or clenching. At Holman Family Dentistry, our team designs custom nightguards tailored to your bite, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
Nightguards do more than protect your teeth. They also help relax your jaw muscles, reduce pressure on your temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and minimize tension headaches caused by clenching. By wearing one regularly, you can prevent enamel erosion, tooth fractures, and even reduce the risk of needing crowns or other restorative dental treatments in the future.
You may benefit from a nightguard if you:
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s worth scheduling a visit with your dentist. We can evaluate your bite and discuss whether a nightguard would help protect your smile.
At Holman Family Dentistry, we believe prevention is key to long-term oral health. A custom nightguard is a simple, effective way to safeguard your teeth, relieve discomfort, and ensure your smile stays healthy and strong for years to come.
