Mouthguards
Deciding if you need a mouthguard can be easy if you have the right information. Dr. Smith has the expertise to determine if you need a nightguard or a sportguard.
Nightguards
Are you grinding or clinching your teeth at night? This can result in pain in your TMJ when eating or opening your mouth as well as causing wear and fractures to your teeth. Over time, grinding and clinching of the teeth can also damage your articulation. Nightguards will prevent any further damage to your smile and provide a protective cushion around your teeth. Nightguards are custom made for upper or for lower teeth. Dr. Smith takes the utmost care to make sure that each custom made nightguard has a perfect fit.
Sportguards
If you are involved in any type of contact sport, it is important to protect your teeth. Your teeth can be easily damaged from athletic equipment, rough ground, or from interaction with other players. Sportguards form a protective barrier around your teeth to prevent any damage. Dr. Smith’s expertise in this preventative step to ensure protection for your own or your child’s teeth results in an individual custom made sportguard that fits the teeth perfectly and is easy to wear.
