Do you wake up with sore jaws, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night — a condition known as bruxism. Over time, this habit can cause tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and other oral health problems. At Holman Family Dentistry, we can help you determine whether a nightguard or another treatment option is right for you.
A nightguard is a small, comfortable oral appliance worn while you sleep to protect your teeth from grinding or clenching. It creates a gentle barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing stress on your jaw and preventing damage to your enamel.
Nightguards can be purchased over the counter or made professionally through your dentist for a more precise fit. The right choice depends on your individual needs, comfort, and level of protection required — and our team at Holman Family Dentistry can guide you in finding the best solution.
You may benefit from a nightguard if you notice:
Even if you’re unsure whether you grind your teeth, these symptoms are important to discuss with your dentist. Addressing the issue early can help prevent long-term damage and discomfort.
At Holman Family Dentistry, our caring team is here to help you protect your smile and improve your comfort. We’ll evaluate your symptoms, discuss your options, and help you find the best fit — whether that’s a nightguard or another form of treatment.
If you’re ready to stop waking up with jaw pain or worn teeth, schedule an appointment with Holman Family Dentistry today. Together, we’ll help you rest easier and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
