Why would I need a nightguard? 
Our dental nightguards in Fredericksburg, VA, are usually recommended for patients who suffer from bruxism. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can place an immense strain and pressure on the teeth and jaw. Not only can it leave you with discomforts like headaches or sore jaw when you wake up in the morning, but it can also impact your dental health and sleep. Some patients we recommend custom oral appliances for also suffer from TMJ, a disorder of the jaw from teeth grinding.
Are custom nightguards better than over-the-counter?
If you're looking at custom nightguards near me, you have the right idea about which nightguard to get! Custom oral appliances are made specifically for you by Dr. Bailey and our experienced team. Though a custom nightguard for teeth grinding or TMJ may be a more costly investment, the level of protection offered by a custom-fit mouthguard proves its worth. Custom nightguards fit comfortably and snugly to each tooth and are crafted with high-quality materials to ensure the device is effective and long-lasting.
How do you take care of nightguards?
One great thing about using nightguards for bruxism is that the oral appliance is not hard to take care of. For the most part, all you have to do is clean the nightguard and keep it safely stored. Caring for your nightguard is as simple as cleaning it with lukewarm water, placing a small amount of toothpaste to brush off bacteria then drying it to safely store it. If you notice cracks or dents in your nightguard, please give our office a call.
