DENTAL MOUTH GUARD DENTIST IN PHOENIX AZ
A dental mouth guard is specifically designed for your mouth to ensure that it fits comfortably.
What Is A Dental Mouth Guard?
A dental mouth guard can protect your teeth from damage caused by a variety of issues. For example, mouth guards are commonly recommended by OP Dental Care for patients who struggle with bruxism, or teeth grinding. They are also recommended for those who may be more prone to teeth injuries, such as those who participate in contact sports and other physical activities. A dental mouth guard is specifically designed for your mouth to ensure that it fits comfortably. It offers a layer of protection around the outer perimeter of your teeth, and it prevents the upper and lower teeth from directly touching.
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A DENTAL MOUTH GUARD?
Your dental team can help you to decide if a dental mouth guard is the most effective treatment option available for your unique situation.
As many as one-third of all adults grind their teeth, and most are not aware that they do so. For example, grinding is common while a person is asleep or when an individual is in an extremely stressful situation. Because a person is not usually aware of the problem, it is most commonly identified during a dental exam. This is because grinding can wear down teeth, cause headaches and jaw pain, impact sleep quality and more. A mouth guard prevents the teeth from grinding against each other and can prevent all of these issues as a result.
Even if you do not grind your teeth, a mouth guard may still be essential for oral health. Contact sports like football, soccer and boxing can easily lead to serious tooth damage. Even sports like skateboarding, biking and more can result in chipped or broken teeth if protection is not worn. During your next dental exam, you can discuss your physical activities and concerns with your dentist to determine if a mouth guard would benefit you.
